Data point for central PA: Today my son went to the local VZ store to change his service plan. In the process he was offered (and accepted) a new Nokia 5185i for free. On the box the phone came in was the following designation: 5185iVA 556sd1a5 1xRTT. Also the words: Phone made in S. Korea. Now we all know that Telson is making the 5185i for NOK. But I was unaware that a 1xRTT version was now available (I could have missed the announcement, of course). It would appear that: 1. NOK is currently supplying 1xRTT phones to VZ with Q chips inside, since NOK has no 1xRTT chip. 2. VZ is currently busy seeding their network with 1xRTT phones (in this area, at least). In light of (1), what should we make of the long standing NOK claim that they don't use Q chips? /jack
