That 40% is an evil lie spread by the evil FCC. Most of the handsets actually have TDMA capability but it has never been used, the reason operators don't like a dot or some sign on the display to say which one is the case. Who knows, maybe most GSM handsets actually work using an undocumented feature of NMT?? Ilmarinen P.S. Maybe that is why WAP is Crap in some parts of GSM-land, tacs or whatever it was called??

Lars, << "CDMA IS the dominant mobile wireless technology in the States" - yes maybe (analog is still really dominant with its 40% right?) >> Changing rapidly. As of September end (quickest number I could find), EMC had North America (US/Canada) at: AMPS = 37% CDMA = 28% TDMA = 28% GSM = 07% I think Canada is higher proportion AMPS than US. Since September AMPS worldwide (which means primarily the Americas) has decreased by about 14 million subs to 59 million. So your right. AMPS could still be dominant, but biting the dust fast << but not as dominant as Nokia is in the same region. >> Without any CDMA (and they are getting VERY little now) their market share could decline. - Eric -

<I hope QCOM works really hard to help any handset/infra manufacturer to succeed.> Your wish is their command. snip The CDMA2000 handset design package, recently developed by QUALCOMM, is intended to support CDMA handset manufacturers in mainland China and other emerging CDMA markets. The design package will help bring innovative, third-generation wireless products faster to market, and help accelerate the adoption of CDMA worldwide. snip Message 16022974 Perhaps Nokia could qualify.
