In reality both are 100 – 200 kbits/s. What reality? Here's a piece of reality for you Data Rate In theory: GPRS 171.2, 1X 307 In implementation: GPRS 86, 1X 144 Typical: GPRS < 50(assuming 8 channels and no error checking) 1X 130(actually today's news showed a 153 in the real world) CDMA1 operator needs a "deal" to get 1X Korea is going 1X this fall, care to find out when and where it had to sign a deal? GPRS is packet data which uses the portion of the channel that the voice doesn´t. A lie like this is not worth of a rebuttal. You could choose not to get GPRS, or you could get directly to W-CDMA. This would not make any sense, though, as it is most desirable. Which is not make sense? GPRS? WCDMA? or simply you? I was delighted to see the other great thinker CRay33 commenting your mail blah blah blah

Raj, Nokia has admitted that GPRS will initially roll out with data speeds of about 30K. GPRS has to have dedicated channel slots that can't be used for voice, taking away from voice capacity. 1X doubles existing voice capacity. When Verizon announced 1.2 billion in network investment this year, that is a 1X "deal". The 1X deployments aren't announced as deals because they are an enhancement to the existing system. Consequently they are a vendor upgrade not a new deal. GPRS is a totally different technology being added to existing GSM systems. Raj, I don't mind being corrected when I make an incorrect statement, but your wrong, wrong, wrong again approach displays your ignorance. Check your facts. You are the one who is WRONG!
