Everyone is selling the hell out of GPRS and all the VC money is going to the GPRS camp, not the WCDMA camp. Most of what you wrote seems to describe problems with the technology that would happen regardless of the comittment of the vendors to the technology. If I remember correctly, you wrote a post where you indicated that it would take years after the initial implementation of W-CDMA for a true "commercial" system to be up and running. It seems like we are going through that process right now. Setting aside Nokia....why would Ericsson, NEC, Docomo, LU, Siemens, Samsung, or any of the other major wireless players delay W-CDMA? They all will make far more from W-CDMA than they will from an extension of GSM/GPRS. Nokia is the only one that might benefit from a delay (I dont think so, but a case could be made). The rest of them clearly need W-CDMA to roll-out....the sooner the better. Slacker
