There are numerous features on the current-generation Airfone setup. Could it just be that they are an existing CDMA user and are upgrading the handset, or (irrespective of the air-ground or sat mode) installing a CDMA WLL in the aircraft, like what G* plans to do in villages served by a single CDMA FAU?

BTW, Airfone (ex-GTE) is Verizon now, but I can't find anything establishing the Airfone as a CDMA user or not.

This post was put on the Raging Bull bulletin board regarding your flights. Please advise if it is true. (I believe it is a 'cut & paste' from the Yahoo site):

United Airlines is replacing Skytel w/ QCOM phones. These are being advertised onboard. My son flew into and out of Denver last week and they are already advertising this capability "in the very near future".

One thing though, they call them Qualcomm phones. I wonder if these phones really mean G*. They also tout Internet, Email, etc.

I guess United is ahead of all the others in their plans.

Comments?
