Thanks for looking at the links. I do not understand the text but found the pictures interesting. I follow the FCC site closely and feel that the more CDMA phones with QCOM MSMs the better. The case and logo could easily change, just a prototype for FCC tests. FCC acceptance is required to sell the phone in the US, do other counties require or accept FCC acceptance? The only Nokia phones to be approved this year were TDMA, guess for AWE. I have not seen any GPRS phones. BTW, I seem to remember that Nokia made their numbers last Dec by shipping millions of CDMA phones to VZ on about the last day of the quarter. It has been two months or more since Nokia "fixed" the problem and VZ was going to lift the ban. Still no Nokia phones at my local VZ store and even Radio Shack, which was selling the 5185 during the ban, does not have any Nokia phones and told me that Nokia would not sell any more to RS. Looking over the base stations, I found only a Motorola and an Ericsson. ----- Cellular Infrastructure Group APPLICANT: MOTOROLA TRANSCEIVER TYPE: IHET6AP1 SC4812ETL @ 1.9 GHz CDMA BTS INTERNAL PHOTOS EXHIBIT No. PHOTOGRAPH IHET5AP1 SC300 Microcell @ 800MHz CDMA BTS -- Ericsson model is RBS 1107 with a version for both 800 and 1900. Nokia does not seem to have a base station approved. Not sure they would have WCDMA version ready and since the chances of getting a suitable frequency for WCDMA in the US is somewhere between zero and zip, not sure they would bother.

(very) off topic - Chandra Levy / Rep. Gary Condit stuff (from AP News). July 14, 2001 What's Known About Levy Case By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 12:27 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Some questions and answers about the search for former federal intern Chandra Levy, and her connection to Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif.: Q: Who is Chandra Levy? A: A 24-year-old from Modesto, Calif., who came to Washington last fall as part of her master's degree program in public administration at the University of Southern California. She lived in an apartment near Dupont Circle, a fashionable Washington neighborhood, and worked as a paid intern at the Bureau of Prisons, in the public information office. Her internship was unexpectedly cut short in late April because her superiors learned she had finished her college course work in December, making her ineligible to continue. Q: When did she disappear? A: Levy was last seen April 30 when she canceled her membership at a health club near her apartment. She was making preparations for returning to California and attending the university's graduation ceremony. She sent her parents, Dr. Robert and Susan Levy, an e-mail on May 1 in which she noted airplane fares for her trip home. Police have said they have no reason to doubt Levy was the message sender. When her parents could not reach their daughter over the next five days, they called police. Her mother also telephoned Democratic Rep. Gary Condit, who represents Modesto, and asked for his help. Police entered Levy's apartment May 10 and found her partially packed bags, wallet, cell phone and computer. Only her keys were missing. There were no signs of foul play. Q: What do police think happened to Levy? A: They do not know but are pursuing four theories: She was murdered; she killed herself; she went into hiding; or she has amnesia. Police have all but ruled out suicide because so much time has passed without her body being found. They are searching abandoned buildings in neighborhoods near Levy's apartment and have distributed simulated pictures of Levy with different hair styles. Police say they still consider the case a missing persons investigation and not a crime, though they acknowledge that as more times passes the likelihood of murder increases. Q: What was the relationship between Condit and Levy? A: Condit initially put up $10,000 for a reward for Levy's safe return and issued a statement in which he called her a ``great person and good friend.'' Questions about the nature of their relationship escalated during the next few weeks amid media reports the two may have been romantically involved. Condit's aides denied the reports; he remained publicly silent. Condit did not acknowledge an affair in interviews with police in mid-May and on June 23, police sources have said. Levy's aunt issued a statement July 6 in which she said Levy had told her she began an affair with the married Condit last Thanksgiving. On the night of July 6, in a third police interview, Condit said he and Levy had an intimate relationship, a police source has said. Q: What does their relationship have to do with Levy's disappearance? A: Police do not know if there is a link, but Condit may have been one of the last people to talk to or see Levy. Investigators say it is important to establish the frame of mind and movements of a person in the days before they go missing, and the best way to do that is to interview to people who saw and talked to the person. Q: Is Condit a suspect in her disappearance? A: No. Police say there are no suspects because they have no evidence of a crime. Police did search Condit's apartment late Tuesday and early Wednesday with his consent and obtained a DNA sample from him Thursday. Condit submitted to a lie detector test arranged by his lawyer and, according to the lawyer, was found to be truthful when denying any knowledge about what happened to Levy. Q: What is the relevance of allegations that other women have had affairs with Condit? A: It is unclear. Terrance Gainer, Washington's No. 2 police official, said those accounts have yielded nothing useful in the search for Levy. But federal officials have expanded a preliminary criminal investigation to determine whether Condit obstructed the investigation of Levy's disappearance. In particular, flight attendant Anne Marie Smith alleges Condit asked her to sign a statement denying a 10-month affair she says they had. Smith, who spent two days answering questions from prosecutors and FBI agents last week, also claims Condit told her she did not have to cooperate with FBI agents. Condit has denied asking anyone to lie or encouraging them not to cooperate with investigators. He has said nothing about Smith's allegation of an affair. Last week, a California minister told The Washington Post that seven years ago, his then-18-year-old daughter had an affair with Condit. A signed statement in the daughter's name that was tacked to the father's front door on the day the report was published denied an affair. A Condit spokesman also denied an affair.

Inmate Used Fake ID Card (Eddie Murphy photo (!)) to Escape. (More "must read" weekend off topic stuff, courtesy of AP News (and -- me)). July 14, 2001 Inmate Used Fake ID Card to Escape By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 7:06 a.m. ET LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Hours after he was convicted of attempted murder, a man walked out of jail by flashing a phony identification card bearing a picture of actor Eddie Murphy, authorities said. Kevin Jerome Pullum, 30, remained at large Friday after slipping out of the Los Angeles County Men's Central Jail a week ago. Police said a jail informant told investigators that Pullum made the card using a picture of Murphy's face that he clipped from a newspaper or magazine ad for the movie ``Dr. Dolittle 2.'' Sheriff's Lt. Carl Deeley said Pullum acted as his own attorney and was allowed to wear civilian clothing to court on July 6. Although he was reissued his jail uniform after the verdict, authorities failed to collect the civilian clothes, which Pullum apparently wore under the jail coverall during the bus ride back to jail. Pullum eventually took off the jail outfit, revealing his civilian clothing, put on what appeared to be a jail employee identification card and simply walked through security and out of the jail, Deeley said. Sheriff Lee Baca said the escape raises questions about privileges given to inmates who represent themselves in court. Pullum had access to such things as copy machines, typewriters, paper and folders because he was acting as his own attorney. Pullum was convicted of attempted murder for shooting a man six times in May 1999. Copyright 2001 The Associated Press
