There is not one single 1xRTT data enabled handset in the Americas today.
Not sure what you are driving at here??? Unless you are on the 5105 MSM vs 5100 MSM difference. If that is the case there is a MSM 5100 phone for sale at Spring, the Sanyo 5150 I believe.

GAIT handsets are a tremendous boon, to ease the migration for AWS, Cingular, Rogers, and Telecel and all the other squandered cdma opportunities in the spectrum constrained Americas .

Apparently transition from TDMA to CDMA must have been harder than I espected since you properly point out that many who could have done it but are not. Though it is not clear how much of AWE's decision was based on the $10 billion from NTT. Cingular also had some GSM properties from SBC and that may also have pushed them toward the GSM direction. There is also the indication that Bell South was not a supporter of the move so it must have been close.
Rogers- I don't know about.

Still there are some going to CDMA, US Cellular and all indications suggest Nextel. There are also the Bell South Latin American properties as well as many recent LA announcements.
