You also can send packet data using the old IS-95a interface if you wanted.

You must be taking a narrow air-interface viewpoint.

On an overall basis, what we have is what the standards bodies and developers wanted, not what 'you and I wanted'. The standards bodies did not choose to provide packet data services with 95A. They provided circuit-switched data services instead.

This [edit: packet data] is what VZ and PCS have been offering for the last 2 years.

In the CDMA world, packet data services were made available with 95B. So if VZ and PCS are providing packet data services, they must have installed (or upgraded to) 95B.

1x data is using one or more 1x voice channels to send and recevie data. If you combine them into a cinagle channel, then you cna get teh 155 and 307k bps channel rates people are talking about.

"Using one or more 1x voice channels"? In many months of studying 3G, I have seen nothing about combining 1x channels. Please clarify.
