Nokia says EDGE to bring mobile multimedia in 2001 This stuff bothers me. I went to Nokia's site to check out edge. All I could find were PR type documents (not that I'd be able to decifer technical documents). What is the real story here? Is this technology really this close to reality? What are the spectral and dollar cost concerns? Press releases like these are troubling because I'm not qualified to respond. I wish QCOM would issue a press release of their own explaining the differences between Edge implementation and CDMA2000 or even 1X. Can any one here shed some light?

Cooter and thread - EDGE - 400 Kbps HSCSD - 57.6 Kbps GPRS - 150 Kbps All GSM and for introduction in 2001 EDGE and GPRS are faster than most of can get now with fixed lines. If a whole bunch of people start getting a service that is much better than they can get today on fixed lines and with a PCMCIA type modem that will enable it for notebooks, isn't all that going to affect Q sales since there is an inertia on GSM that I had thought would have been blown away with the MSM 5000 and 3100 chip sets. I hope my concerns are ill founded. Best regards, L
