cfoe, << QCOM management has repeatedly said (including in the last CC) that 1X would be fully backwards compatible to all earlier CDMA systems. I would assume that means the CSM chip will support all modes of CDMA. If so, why wouldn't an MSM3100 work at 64k? >> I have no doubt that the chips have full backward and forward capability ... never have had. Lakers assures me that a 1x implementation will include IS-95B without a special implementation of same. That is a point I was not clear on. Carriers have a capability to activate services selectively, however. Services have been implemented more selectively and with more variation in the past amongst CDMA carriers even within there own region, than with, lets say GSM. So Lakers has assured me that when Verizon implements 1x, my MSM3100 IS-95B capability will work on the Verizon net. I'll hold him to that. <g> What I won't hold him to is that it will work without a modification to my subscription, because I expect that will be required. It may not, but I expect it will. - Eric -
