That's yesterday's news. The 8850 weighs 90 grams, offers 150 hours of stand-by time, voice-dialing, predictive text-input, picture messaging, etc. Plus it's actually debuting in the countries that matter... about 100 hundred of them. Let's see....20 million subs in Korea, 4 to 5 million DDI/IDO subs in Japan by end 99, and a pool of 27 million DoCoMo subs to pilfer. Do 50 million subs matter? I believe they do. The features you cite are available now in CDMA handsets in those countries. Coupled with data speeds of up to 86K, they will be a powerful force. Smaller handsets, longer standbys, more features, higher speeds--aren't these the very factors that have propped up the argument for GSM for so long? As they have now been negated as valid advantages, what next?
