Millions of GPRS terminals to ship
From: biz.yahoo.com

He said Motorola had orders for more than 2.1 million general packet radio service (GPRS) phones at the end of the second quarter and expects to ship 5 million units this year, mostly in Europe. Most of the 2.1 million phones on order should be shipped in the third quarter.

Motorola appears responsible for part of Nokia's weakness in mobile phones, Bear Stearns analyst Wojtek Uzdelewicz said in a research report. ``Motorola is becoming a tougher competitor for Ericsson and Nokia.''

I believe Nokia said millions of GPRS terminals would ship in the last quarter. And they're right. Millions will ship. Marked Motorola. <g> Thanks for the tables from GSMA. Do they have any for EDGE terminals and systems?

The table doesn't show any 850Mhz GPRS phones. AT&T Wireless and Cingular need those rather badly.
Doesn't list the Ericsson T39m which I found here. ericssonmyh.co.uk
The T39m is marked 'coming soon' but you can order the R520m now from the web site.
Rather lame review of the R520m here theregister.co.uk
It skips any mention of its HSCSD and GPRS performance. Why would anyone want to trade in their existing GSM/WAP
phone for this more expensive phone based on this review?

AT&T and Cingular need 850/1900 GSM/GPRS phones. I guess the lack of suitable handsets is one reason Cingular has pushed back the start of their GSM service. I suspect AT&T will have to do the same.
