WM and all,

Attended a conference today. Visited both Sprint PCS and AirTouch booths.

The rep. from ATI said that thin phone (Q-860) would not be available in my area any time soon. (he said about a couple of weeks. I think he does not have any idea.) Those Nokia phones did not pass ATI's quality control testing. And ATI did not order any more of those Nokia 2180s. Lousy quality also. I saw MOT's StarTac on display as well as Q's Q phone.

The rep. from Sprint PCS also stated that Thin phone is not anywhere in sight yet. As for Nokia's new 6180 phone, he was pretty up beat on this phone but told me 6180s were returned for more testing as Vman wrote. He said it would be available in a couple of weeks. (Again he does not know the answer.) Saw the display of MOT's StraTac. No Q phone. The booth also show Iridium phone. (Sprint PCS is a part owner of Iridium) This is the first time I hold an Iridium phone. A very good looking phone though a brick size. Too bad the rep. said it only had about 11,000 subscribers so far.

Caxton,

Thanks for Nextwave's link. The question is Q already sold the infra. division to ERICY. I guess if SURF survives ERICY will get 1/2 of the infra. contract to replace Q's previous position???

Best,

Brian H.
