Quincy, Good post. One glaring correction is in order, however, as regards: << GSM worldphones have not become a visibly powerful market force when SBC, a major West coast provider, doesn't carry them >> SBC carries both the Ericsson i888 and Motorola L-7089 WorldPhones on their GSM network: pbwireless.com Omnipoint and VoiceStream carry both as well. Haven't checked Bell South Mobility, Ariel, or Fido, but presumably all carry one or more WorldPhone models. For those of us that do Europe occasionally WorldPhones with a US subscription are indeed becoming a powerful reality, indeed almost a necessity. I've used the old Bosch on Omnipoint for the last 2 years when traveling abroad. Works great! The Qualcomm from BAM stays at home. Rentals available. Try one on your next trip abroad. - Eric -

you know, i had a question that neither you nor Labrador have answered. Instead both of you push and shove your agenda as if it's the last good word. both of you have made salient points about technicalities in QCOM vs. IDC and I have to agree that IDC shows very little promise; however, why would Nokia invest 70 million in a company that you think has nothing going for it? second, Quincy, you don't know enough about patents and it shows. third, Quincy, you don't know enough about audio bandwidth and it shows. when both of you can give me your IMHO's about that press release between Nokia and IDC, then we might have an intelligent discussion. until then, as you pointed out Quincy, this discussion is a waste of time.
