Eric L: Now you've done it. w molloy answered my question directly, clearly and I understood his answer. Now you have added all these other real world complications, links, and what not. Will have to read them I suppose. Sigh. Re the future. We will see. Won't argue here, yet. Off to do homework. What a way to spend the weekend. Would rather watch football. Best. Chaz

CDMA is Toast! <g> There I went and did it. Don't leave me out of those who will respond, Eric! A rational person will look at your GPRS timetable(thanks for that, by the way) and see exactly what constitutes toast. Note 2001/2 for 56K, and 2002 for 112K. Shame on them. That darn toasted CDMA was doing 64K commercially last fall. We'll have 115K by year end 2000. We have laptop makers incorporating CDMA ASICs in the computer on a trial basis now, with the #3 maker slated to make it commercial in 2000/1. Put the whip to it GPRS gypsters!

Eric L.- Bluetooth is reported in disarray. totaltele.com Is there a disinformation agenda in this? There seems to have been a spirited acceptance of this last few yards technology in cooperation with fixed/portable/mobile transmissions. I was looking forward to using the devices. If there's any truth to this odd report ("it doesn't work, but millions of devices will be sold ") I have to distrust GPRS and Edge.

CDMA is Toast! <g> I think we need to settle on some terminology between the Q and Nokia investors.... W-CDMA - CDMA air interface GSM/MAP Network....I count this as a CDMA sub (3G). 1xrtt - CDMA air interface IS-95 Network....Also a CDMA sub (2.5G). 3xrtt - CDMA air interface (5MHz Channel) IS-95 Network....CDMA sub (3G) EDGE - TDMA air interface GSM/MAP or ANSI network....GSM/TDMA sub (2.5 or 3G???) How did I come up with these definitions? Simple, as an investor, CDMA is simply whatever Qualcomm receives a royalty off of. This is the only definition that matters...IMO. Now it starts to get confusing when we start to talk about CDMA2000. Occasionally Tero will state that CDMA2000 is a standard which only a couple of US operators and DDI/IDO have committed too....and he's sort of right. He's talking about 3xrtt....what he neglects to mention is that it is very likely that every CDMA operator in the world will transition to 1xrtt (which is also part of CDMA2000). Nokia might be able to ignore the 3xrtt market....but the 1xrtt market should be large enough within 18 months to warrant some attention. I really hope to see some products from Nokia which address this market.... As to "CDMA is toast"....Can I report you for a TOU violation for making a statement which is obviously meant to provoke the peaceful <g> Q investors? To all Nokia investors....just be thankful that this board has never gone to the level of the original Q board. I think a nice quiet board and 50% YoY apprecation for Nokia sound like a pretty good combination :-). Slacker
