It seems to me that the market for basic voice only 1X phones will be quite large. The main driver will be the carriers, who will benefit from the expanded network capacity (without which there would be no reason to upgrade from now very inexpensive IS-95). My guess is that Leap will be a big initial customer. The market could end up being pretty big....but only for a handset that supports 800MHz as well as 1900MHz. Leap (and the other flat-rate providers) dont provide a market nearly large enough to support development of 1900MHz only handsets. Unless Sprint PCS starts selling Nokia's, this is going to be a tiny seller. I have no idea what Nokia is thinking. Slacker
