Did Schmitt complain about not having enough handsets, i.e the phrase "God Send Mobiles"? If so must be the same one. I thought he was at Sprint but if he was at PrimeCo he must have also been pushing the issue that the CDMA handsets wouldn't be available on time. As I recall, PrimeCo was first to get a CDMA system up (1n 1996?) and so it would make sense that he was the one most concerned about handset availability and the chicken and egg problem. I.e.
carriers say "make handsets" and equipment makers say "not until there is demand."
