moenmac: ....Handsets from Ericsson and other manufacturers work perfectly well on Telstra's CDMA network, said Scott, but Nokia's so far do not. "The network and handsets are built to specification, but that's open to interpretation by Telstra as it builds the network," Brad Reed, a Nokia marketing manager, is quoted in defense of the situation. The issue is thought to lie with Telstra's boomer cells, part of the radio network that increases coverage over regional areas.... Same response from Nokia as they gave to the problems their 95A handsets had with 1x networks in the US - blame the network (or the "loose" CDMA specs), not the Nokia chipset/handset. But if other manufacturers handsets are working fine, maybe Nokia should just say "we have a problem and we're working to fix it", rather than blaming anything and everyone but themselves. David T.
