re: "CDMA and the Seven Dwarfs" << "Calypso" ... Nothing but GPRS inside >> * 32-bit Symbian OS Inside? * Symbian OS 6.1 Inside? .... would have to be if GPRS wouldn't you think. * MMS Inside * WAP 2.0 Inside ... a Quidiot would say what is MMS? We don't need MMS. We just standardized EMS. LOL! * All wrapped up in the Symbian 'Pearl' reference design. ? We'll find out Monday ? << It takes Q to tango >> Bill Gates said he's not too crazy about tangoing with "CDMA and the Seven Dwarfs" ... and DOJ caught him, forever immortalizing the phrase "CDMA and the Seven Dwarfs". ... but Q did manage to construct the worst selling smartphone of all time: kyocera-wireless.com It was a homorphrodite - a "Brick" and a "Bomb" at the same time. I think "Newton" sold more copies. << Ericsson still setting the [not much of a] standard with the T68 >> Pretty traditional isn't it? "Buck" likes it though. It's not too data-centric for his taste and it's "perfectly proportioned". Here's "The Buck" with the trend setting model he used before Ericsson loaned him the "perfectly proportioned" T68: unorg.com ... and "The Buck" LOVES the vibrator too. Speaking of vibrating phones. Back in about 98 or so, Benetton composed an ad for Ericsson. The add pictured about a half dozen vibrators (all shapes and colors) of about the same size as a handset, lined up side by side with a new model Ericsson. A friend who was at that time subscriber equipment manager for a major carrier sent me a JPG of it. I thought it was a very well conceived joke. It wasn't. It was evidently, the real McCoy. The ad never made it to print, "even in Europe" as one pundit stated. - Eric -
