Mika, about the Ericy R280LX--surfing works fine. Phone very capable...but battery life is very poor. I got the extended battery (bulky NiMH--no Li ion) and I still only get 2 days on light use. I miss the 10 days on my 6160.

PS. This just in>

Mika: Enjoy your holiday.

But since there has not been any repeat any GSM base in Japan, DoCoMo is not building on GSM, but is building on its unique Japanese base - which again, is not GSM.

Other parts of the world are different where there is GSM.

But why is WCDMA first (DoCoMo's "nonstandard" version) where GSM is not?

Best and respect.

Mika,

both you and Eric Jonghsa have mentioned the reuse of the GSM network for WCDMA. This leaves me confused as in other posts (not yours or Eric's) it has been mentioned that the network must change. Also, is a GSM network circuit switched or packet? If circuit don't they have to switch to packet?? Does not this imply a new network?

thanks in advance for your answer,

Claude (rhymes with TOAD)
