MUST READ!!! mmO2 to reconsider 3G network building contracts 09:29 Friday March 1, 2002, Reuters mmO2 announced on February 28 it was reviewing its contracts for the building of 3G networks in the UK, Germany and The Netherlands. Nortel would build mmO2's UK network, Nokia its 3G network in Germany, and Ericsson its Dutch network. But since it demerged from the BT Group last year, it fully owns all of its divisions, which enables it to bring in one company to build all its networks. Therefore, the company is reviewing the provision of network infrastructure and dual-mode (3G) handsets and is currently in talks with network providers. My take is: they will reduce the vendors to two. Who's gonna get the lion share?

re: The First Smartphone announcement for Symbian OS 7.0 (Sony-Ericsson) This "New Generation" WorldSmartPhone has very advanced features including color screen and UIQ (but no Bluetooth mention) and a pretty aggressive availability date of Q3 02. Because it uses (will use) OS 7.0 it is likely that a 1xRTT or 1xEV-DO model could follow. Picture at link below. >> Sony Ericsson P800 - Symbian / GPRS / Tri-Band GSM / Camera / Colour Screen Cellular News March 5, 2002 cellular-news.com The P800 is a multimedia smartphone which has a large color touch-screen, in-built camera, access to the Internet and runs on triple band GSM and GPRS networks. The Operating system is based on the Symbian 7.0 platform. With the P800 it is possible to take digital pictures, view them on the 208 x 320 pixel color screen, store them in the photo album and send them as an e-mail to a PC or as an MMS-message to another phone. The P800 can also show a color picture of the person who is calling, for that personal touch. The P800 offers the possibility of downloading and viewing video clips and is also an organizer, it can handle daily operations such as calendar, e-mail, address book and to-do-lists. All these features can easily be synchronized with the most common office applications on a PC. The P800 enables to take notes and view files such as Powerpoint, Word or Excel. The P800 runs on the latest version of the open operating system, Symbian OS v7.0 and incorporates the recently announced UIQ pen-based user interface. As the P800 is open, one can download applications, such as games, based on Java and C++. This opens up possibilities in several applications areas and it means that consumers will be able to update their handsets regularly with new applications and content. Its integrated browser can access the web (HTML and xHTML), i-Mode and WAP. Furthermore, the P800 can be used across five continents and in around 160 countries as it runs on GSM 900/1800/1900. For the Chinese-speaking markets, the P802 and the P800c also handle Chinese character text input. The P800 will be available during Q3, 2002. Idle gossip moment, NEC also used to sell a ETACS handset called the P800. << - Eric -
