Yep. 1x EVDV has the huge advantage for Nokia that there is zero chance of real world use for 18 months to 2 years.

That seems to be why Sprint is waiting waiting waiting for it. Seems stupid, but then that is Sprint - fits with not using BREW which would be a no brainer - except for Sprint's thinking Java will be good enough and Sprint will keep all the proceeds - limited though they might be.

Losers wait.

Best.

PS But the joke is that Nokia has no working phone using 1x data. Perhaps there will be one someday. Then perhaps there will be some sort of 1x DV of one variety or other. Suggest that based on Nokia's track record re: CDMA - bad - we not hold our breath for either. But then, who knows, perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised and Nokia can cut the mustard.

1x-EVDV is caught in the same mire as WCDMA. Both are now accepted standards without any true proof of workability. Totally backwards. Define a standard (or try to amongst split consensus) and only then go out and try to build it? Does this also sound suspiciously like EDGE?

At least Qcom has the position and reputation of submitting already proven and tested technologies to the standards bodies for final approval and tweaking.
