Don, Hopefully you are all wet lounging in the pool. Let me give your post a try. <<Anyone know how far behind HDR is EDGE. Has MOT even demonstrated EDGE? Is EDGE a bypass of W-CDMA.>> EDGE has not solved power control problems, so at this point I would say it is in the lab. I don't believe EDGE brings AWE any closer to W-CDMA than they already are, so this is not a backward-compatible solution on either leg of the transition. <<Am I all wet?>> The migration path for GSM is much less murky than TDMA, plus they have economies of scale, significant software development on the network management side, and much better voice quality. TDMA is odd man out with an archaic air interface to boot. Hope I got everything right, Cooters
