Thanks for the detail on GSM frequencies. Since the world phones are relatively new, and the touting of GSM "go anywhere" is not new, where is the disconnect? Have they been stretching, or have I just not been paying enough attention. Our freind Tero keeps waxing poetic about the difficulty of manufacturing a GSM/CDMA handset. I am wondering if this chipset combined with a CDMA chipset might have some positive implications for cdma (thinking about Voda,AT,BAM). Didn't Q pick up rights to make GSM chips in the ERICY deal? Why wouldn't they be pushing CDMA/GSM chips as a way to ease a European or other GSM transition? Or is it just too early?
