As to why Nokia phones would have problems with boomer cells, I have no idea. Whoa mate! The article said ... >>"Telstra CDMA boss Tim Buckley said: "We have a Nokia [edit: phone] in test that we haven't elected to go with." 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 [edit: the same phone] 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." Sounds like the bloke was sayin' the NOK phone failed in normal sized cells. Also sounds like tests ain't been run in any outback boomer cell yet. He might have kangaroos loose in the top paddock, else he wouldn't be expectin' that same phone to maybe work in the outback. And unfortunately for the Aussies, NOK might be running inter-operability tests in their backyard. G'day, Ron :-)) P.S. To Aussies: no offense intended, just a little fun.
