Question about "always-on" Can someone (other than rajala) clarify rajala's statements about the "always on" capabilities of 1X (and beyond) vs. GPRS (and W-CDMA)? I was under the impression that all packet-switched data supported "always-on" (or at least always available) virtual connections to the network that allowed instant internet connections whenever one was requested (either on the network side or on the handset/terminal side), without requiring ISP dial-up/logging-in. Is there some difference in the way always on/packet data is implemented in GPRS vs. CDMA2000? For that matter, is there any difference between "always on" using Quick Net Connect (currently available on CDMAOne in the US) vs. "always on" in 2.5-3G (or 2.4-3G, according to rajala :) )?
