An interesting business plan....A CDMA operator in Israel is offering data services for free (presumably to attract more voice subs). The article is a couple of months old... globes.co.il Thursday , Aug 19, 1999 Sun-Thu at 18:00 (GMT+2) Communications Pele-Phone to Provide Internet Information to Cellular Telephones By Ronny Lifschitz Pele-Phone will start providing Internet content to cellular telephone owners at the beginning of next month. The new service is called "Pele-News", and it enables Pelephone's customers connected to the CDMA digital network to receive Internet data directly on the handsets. The information includes general news flashes, sports news, stock updates, weather reports, airline arrivals and departures, tourist deals and more. The service is offered free of charge.

Interesting: NYC suburbs Sprint store experience mirrors Dallas. JGoren, same scene in Port Chester, NY: Samsung 3500 on backorder; sells out within hours of arrival. Sales attendant said it's because it's the phone most seen in Sprint wireless commercials (I don't know that one way or the other). I didn't feel too badly, though, since I pretty much decided to be loyal and go for the Thin. Only bummer: dual mode only comes in black. Store was busy. With the thin in my coat pocket, I'm barely aware of its presence. Trying to convince the wife that she needs the Samsung 3500, so I can borrow it. Slacker, if you're still reading at this point: did you catch who is underwriting the Indian CDMA company's GDR? Holiday greetings, JGoren and all.
