"...there are NO pilot DS-CDMA systems in use anywhere in the world?" It was the visit to Nokia's W-CDMA test network in Japan that convinced the Hong Kong operator to start a W-CDMA collaboration with Nokia. I'm not following you at all. Is this another alternate dimension we're dealing with? Some strange and bleak universe where Nokia doesn't have W-CDMA test networks in Asia? Too bad they yanked "Twilight Zone"; we could collaborate on a script. For your own peace of mind - do not place a lot of faith on the British 3G license winners switching to cdma2000. The negotiations on the W-CDMA orders are almost over. It was the leak about Nortel's W-CDMA order that triggered the recent Motorola downgrade. This is something that's hard to grasp; how does anyone expect that the 100 GSM operators currently installing GPRS can move to cdma2000? How would that be possible? Carranza - the first chipset batches are in production as far as I know. The volume production hasn't started. You know - there are Bluetooth chips in production right now as well. You don't see them, because they aren't sold yet. But they are used in the test handsets. The construction of first Japanese W-CDMA networks starts this summer. I have never heard of a situation where no chipsets exist three months before a build-up begins. Tero
