YOu will pay for those channels however. Any phone which has the MSM3xxx or later is hardware capable of doing IS-95B, just would need the software. Do you think it would be correct to assume that since it is packet data, the factor that would most determine price would be the amount of data consumed, not the speed at which the data was delivered? The venerable Qualcomm 820 uses a MSM3xxx, correct? And also the Thinphone. But Airtouch doesn't provide data, even at 14.4Kbps for the 820. Would it be a good guess that the required software is different and Airtouch didn't want to develop and test two different platforms? Also, do you think the Motorola 64Kbps solution is the same efficiency (bits/Hz) as the current 14.4 solutions? I know I said just one more question, but that was yesterday. Bux
