>I think Vod hedges their bets by letting VZ go w/ >cdma2000 which will still allow for global roaming >thanks to WCDMA/CDMA2000 chips by Spinco. This is not going to fly, Carter. In order to make roaming possible, VOD should not only commit to those WCDMA/CDMA2000 vaporware phones to VZ customers. But also to all their European and Asian customers. All of them. Furthermore, to get the roaming revenue from other operators, they should also persuade all the other operators to supply all their customers with this double-standard monster phone. Which none of the phone manufacturers is even planning to produce. Just because one of their subsidiaries has an off-standard system. Your theory is so gapingly weak that even some of the day traders on this thread may notice it. - rajala
