My reference to November was that it was the likely month for 1xevdo to receive imt2000 certification by the ITU .... and that imt2000 certification is really mandatory for serious consideration by Europe's operators.

Yes.

imo, 1xevdv - operating on a 5mhz band - is the standard that may prove tempting...

Yes.

So, would not the 1xevdo investment done now be totally cash conservative WRT the 1xevdv to be implemented in the future? And a 5MHz band//1.25MHz dual mode handset...? What would the actual follow-on evolution be, for an overlay now needing forwards//backwards compatibility? Would this be more complex or would this rid the world of one less mode to accommodate?

... and the odds are increasing that it will not receive imt2000 certification until perhaps as late as November 2002

Do you see this delay as a "political" move pushed by QCOM's competitors, or a function of the technology?
