limtex: There are none. It will take a while for those who pretend that GPRS is "fast" [yuk] or even better than GSM in speed. Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. But it is always on. Except that the networks don't want it on when their voice services need the priority.

Absurd on its face, but then we shall see.

The wonderful news is that there are now two (flawed though they are) networks which will make CDMA 1x available.

Let's see how the absurdity of GPRS compares, shall we?

Best.

Lim,

Now we get to see what 1x in the US can do. I say no self-respecting HS or college kid will be caught dead with a puke green GPRS device, but I could be wrong.

The A500 is stunning!

After all these years of waiting, let the games begin.
