<Those W-CDMA phones will have to be dual-mode models compatible with existing
GSM and GPRS infrastructure. You probably should visit some country outside of
North America one day and check out how well Samsung, Audiovox and LG are doing
in GSM markets.>

That is today only, NOK will be under a lot of pressure to even make a W-CDMA phone work. Do not for get W-cdma is 90% CDMA, and look at NOK results in that arena, can you say ZILCH.

Just the facts, Tero, just the facts.......

Tero,

<< Samsung, Audiovox and LG are doing in GSM markets >>

This is good. All will be accomodasting the new CDMA SIM/R-UIM spec before long in GSM/CDMA multi-band handsets.

I suspect it will not be Nokia that allows me to extend my subscription for use in Europe.

Audiovox doing well here with CDMA too. My new CDM 9000 (necessitated by the new Verizon rate plan) is an excellent mobile. Audiovox is very week on accessories however. Data cable due shortly, and I'll probably have to have a cable craftsman scavenge the Qualcomm QCP 860 to Palm Vx cable to connect to the Palm as an adapter to the Audiovox cable.

I saw the new AT&T Mitsubishi data phone in use last week. Best darned display for data I have ever seen.

Have a great week. I'm travelling so will be off line (no data cable). <g>
