Keith, GSM, EDGE, and GPRS just suffered a huge blow.
For the technically challenged among us (inc. yrs truly), are you saying that basically, the VOD agreement all but cements a 2.5G CDMA overlay for VOD's GSM footprint as opposed to the GPRS>EDGE upgrade path? If so, what kind of handsets can we expect to see? Near-term, something akin to Ericsson's Worldphone? How would a CDMA overlay change this, if at all? Thanks, Greg

Keith,

<< I doubt that it will take them another 6 years to make the 2 systems compatible >>

You are probably correct and this whole Vodaphone thing can indeed shift the paradigm again. Good News, Eh?
