Hey Grinder ... thanks for the post .... >>Last month in Cannes, France, a conference saw Qualcomm demonstrate a working 3G system. Admittedly, this involved transmitting data to a personal computer rather than a phone, but the significance was not lost on the audience: >> I'd dump my POTS today at 56K if I could go wireless modem with HDR ... lots of potential for PC's out there !! >>Europe's leading manufacturers remain confident. Tapio Hedman of Nokia's mobile division says the company is on track to launch 3G handsets in the third quarter of 2002 and to be making them in millions by the end of the year: "The first handset we made was the size of a refrigerator. The current ones are much smaller. Development is proceeding and the technical challenges are being met in a planned manner." So .... how small is it today? They don't provide a clue. Overall, though, at least a more 'balanced' article ... I do love that "collision detection multiple access" technology ... should be a good investment in the future. regards, metman

>> FT article with surprisingly good insight into what's really going on... Still not too credible as far as I'm concerned, particularly after reading the following: But all the 3G base-stations and telephone handsets have had to be created from scratch because of Europe's insistence on following its own version of the CDMA (collision detection multiple access) technology on which 3G services will be based. ROFLMAO!!! uf
