Technology Stocks : The New Qualcomm - a S&P500 company -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Do you know about the reception quality of the Samsung SCH-3500 compared to the Qualcomm phones? I have had a lot of dropped calls here in Austin--don't know if that is due to the phone or Sprint's porous network here. I keep the analog mode turned off since I do not want to pay roaming. I had a lot less trouble with a Nokia 6160 on ATT Wireless locally (but maybe it was using analog--LOL!). I tend to think the Sprint network sucks here in Austin.

Can you get any carrier in a benz, just got the S and need to put phone in it, can I just put my portable with kit?

My Samsung voice activated clam shell is also screwing up with poor quality judged by people whom I talk to you and you can not call in. Sprint says "its the network, not the phone." They are sold out of that model and are going to take 48 hrs to test the network.

FWIW, the local New Orlenas suburbs's store has no Samsung, little thin phones, no accessories for either but all the Nokias and Startac's you want. All employees have thin phones on their belts.

Siemens in the news

DIE WELT (Fri 1/14 2000):

... Siemens today jumped up to 133 Euro. Rumors on the floor have it that [Siemens] will buy an
Internet/Networking company in the next months. "Such an acquisition would support their
transformation into a modern technology concern" according to a funds manager.

I'm not suggesting they will buy QCOM, but a joint venture announcement may be on the cards
