Is this true? "But he added that he was encouraged by a new range of CDMA phones from Nokia using the Qualcomm hardware, planned for 2003."

Buckley explained that the problems have emerged because Nokia did not use the chipset from US-based CDMA market leader Qualcomm on which Telstra's Nortel Networks built network is based. "We are not sure how it is going to work with our boomer cells [special long range base stations developed by Nortel for the Australian market]. We are not convinced that it will work as well as other handsets," Buckley said. Well....that sounds like good news, though if it is just a problem working with Boomer cells then it wont be much of a hindrance. I dont know of any other installations of the Boomer cells except Australia. But he added that he was encouraged by a new range of CDMA phones from Nokia using the Qualcomm hardware, planned for 2003. I hope this guy knows something that we dont <g>.... Slacker

Quality of CDMA Network Closely Eyed library.northernlight.com Story Filed: Friday, April 12, 2002 10:09 AM EST Guangzhou, Apr 12, 2002 (AsiaPort via COMTEX) -- Officials from China Unicom said lately that the first-stage CDMA Network had been installed. The network, covering more than 330 cities and some county-level towns scattering all China, is able to serve 15 million users. Guangdong alone takes up a little more than one third of the capacity, said Yang Chunliang, general manager of Guangdong Unicom. CDMA users, however, care not only the various privileges, but also the network quality and the services available. "Currently the quality of Unicom's CDMA network has surpassed its GSM network," said Yang. A consumer from a Unicom business center, however, indicated otherwise. "CDMA (network) is not steady at present. There is no problem to send out a short message, but you may probably have some difficulty in getting one," said the person.
