Ericsson Applauds Decision on IMT-2000 -- 3G -- Radio Interface
Specifications
Ericsson applauds the recent decision by the International
Telecommunications Union which established a comprehensive set of
terrestrial and satellite radio interface specifications for third

Is this good news? Sorry but I get very nervous about anything that ERICY applauds!

Best regards,

Dave do not forget Q has a whole line of new phones in the works. Nokia also would not want MOT or samsung to put a stranglehold on CDMA market. The most important reason to me, is it allows Nokia to save face. The have failed terribly at CDMA Chips and phones. A purchase of QCP would allow Nok to say we had no choice so we will buy Q Chips. It would also give them a slew of the best Rf CDMA engineers arround. Nokia has had trouble recruiting. In my opinion if there are actually 6 bidders then NOK is in there. The fact that Ericy has been squirming as of late confirms this to me. One or two more clues and I will make one of those Eat my monitor bets. I am almost that sure

The Qualcomm powered Samsung clamshell flip phone is the hottest thing on the CDMA mkt.

I second this opinion. This is a badass phone. Got one the first day it was available. With rebates, this pup sells for about 100 bucks. Sleek design, voice-activated dialing (very nice and easy to use--forget those speed-dial buttons), vibrating ringer, sweet clamshell that shows the display even when closed, wireless web, modem, you name it. Only the ignorant buy a Mote or a Noke--they sell inferior phones for 160-250 bucks. How long will this last? Not long. They will come out with equivalent CDMA phones soon (I hope), but they want to charge 300 bucks. Good luck against Samsung! Hanguk = #1, and they're just getting started.

I'd give it a somewhat higher probablility than ATT converting to CDMA some time in the
next few years, but not much more.


How do you think AT&T wireless is going to deal with it's 4:1 capacity disadvantage versus tough competitors like Sprint/MCI and BAM/Airtouch?
