all leading manufacturers are unanimous..joint effort, following a commonly agreed process of interoperability testing in relation to new features. Yes, no regular propaganda BS in that press release, every sentence, word with its specific meaning. Our GPRS phone tests give us confidence that our products will perform to high expectations when they are released to the market. But nokia has kind of warned they are a little tired of the constant rumour and propaganda stream.. Anyway, best news the density target, where the metal hits the margin, battery power is exhausted.

Slacker, << I think the entire press release is worth posting.... >> It most certainly is. Thanks for doing so. I have modified my business plans for today to tune in to Matti Alahuhta's webcast at 12:50. You put the highlights in exactly the right places. IMO, although the whole press release is pretty powerful. One or two additional items that I believe should be highlighted are these: We will start delivering MMS in our products during the first half of next year. .... Our first dual-mode GSM/WCDMA 3rd Generation (3G) terminal will also be an MMS-enabled imaging phone There has been some controversy about Nokia electing to not implement EMS, and sticking with the Smart Messaging enhancement they pioneered, and which EMS emulates to a great degree for the near term. I did not understand the whyfore of this at first. However, with the MMS standards pretty well squared away and relatively uniform across GPRS and WCDMA, I think they are considerably better off waiting to implement MMS in conjunction with WAP 2, extended memory, and J2ME next year with new display and battery technology (and presumably with the whittled down and prioritized subset of 'R97' PCCCH/PBCCH features - or revised 'R99' PCCCH/PBCCH features). Best, - Eric -

<CDMA2000 high-speed packet data call on a Nokia prototype handset powered by a Nokia CDMA chipset> Wonder what the prototype looked like? see Message 16296583 but not exactly a prototype chipset in that test. More like a shipping production chipset, at least very soon thereafter. snip ``Nokia is leading the way with next generation CDMA products,'' said Soren Petersen, Vice President and General Manager of CDMA for Nokia Mobile Phones. ``These high-speed data and voice calls demonstrate our commitment to providing world-class CDMA handset products to our customers.'' snip Now, 20 months later they are leading the way? Boy this is great. What world? Not really fair to compare, QCOM makes both ends, including the other end of the nokia test. Are they getting smarter about testing before selling?
