S100. GPRSucks. Regardless of whether you often hold them at arms length, high radiation phones will just not be allowed in the US period due to sensitivity to health issues. the BAT (Best Available Technology) standard will likely be applied here to judge them just as it is applied to evaluate environmental clean up efforts. I understand that on the downlink, more than one or two time slots can be used to receive data. Here the issue is evidentally 1) network congestion, 2) battery life, 3) cell station spacing (didn't I see that closer base station spacing would be needed). Is this business of bonding base stations together an effort to avoid a massive base station build out. JohnG

review what is a forward and reverse channel before posting such nonsense. ---------- 4+2 4 channels incoming 2 channels back 4 bonded channels incoming - requiring 4x power (resultant reported problems with power consumption and battery drain) - and emitting a corresponding increase in radiation. Is there truly a health issue? Who cares. The fourth estate will render that point moot. ---------- My, 100..... You're rather - emotional - aren't you? You're certainly more than welcome to suck up as much radiation as you please. Suck it up, 100.
