Well, neither one has claimed to demonstrate a phone, single or multimode or otherwise, however, both have demonstrated different levels of wcdma-gsm compatible connections, speech coding stuff,etc. Need to read those words carefully, as not one of them is published just by chance. Ilmarinen Same thing for all the orwellian double-speak-spins, although then the words and sentences are selected to kind of make almost the opposite association than the actual intellectually and legally honest words. Within the legal framework of the one who is legally responsible for the flow of spin, onbviously.

Trevor, << Ilmarinen, have you ever heard Nokia or Sony/Ericsson announcing or demonstrating a single mode wcdma phone? >> Not Ilmarinen, but ... for as long as I can remember, Nokia has maintained they would not introduce a single mode WCDMA phone and initial product would be dual-mode. First time I heard this was perhaps 6 to 9 months before the FOMA launch when they stated that they would not be participating in the initial small scale launch (pilot) for FOMA and they have commented on this several times since. Pretty much the same story out of Motorola and Ericsson (now Sony Ericsson). I suspect that as they evolved prototype handsets for testing and trialing Nokia has probably operated in WCDMA single mode, and one would expect that there are several single mode models from other vendors in their Paris interoperability lab. Single mode suitability is primarily Japan. Even Hutch 3G needs dual-mode in UK since they will use mmO2 GSM GPRS for coverage where they don't have WCDMA. - Eric -
