How about if the carriers finally realized that they had been sold a "pig in a poke" and demanded that they would nto buy handsets until such time as Nokia made teh handsets not drop calls with the same amount of basestations as tehy had in GSM. Perhaps it is the carriers who will nto buy WCDMA until such time as it is fixed. And in about 2 years the technology to do it may come available. qualcomm's chipset simply implments the standard as written, it does not fix the standard and make it work with Asynchronous handoffs. In the future it may be possible thru more coding gain and antenna diversity to make WCDMA work in the context I stated above, but not now and not with the systems they have proposed. Everyone is selling the hell out of GPRS and all the VC money is going to the GPRS camp, not the WCDMA camp.
