re: Rolling Thunder - Forbes take: forbes.com It weighs 4.1 ounces and will be priced between $250 and $350, depending on the operator. "EDGE will never see the light of day" "where are those EDGE problems?"

Eric L: 6200 not yet FCC approved. Why? The jury is still out on EDGE in the wide wide world, as is obvious, given the seeming lack of interest outside the US carriers who are stuck with the laughling called TDMA "upgrade" [sic.]. But it is good to see that Nokia may (or may not, in the event, deliver next year). Let's see, shall we. Perhaps there will actually be a EDGE handset from Nokia. A loss sale perhaps? Chaz

Too funny. Don't get too excited. Commercial availability for first customers is expected to begin Q1 2003. If they work as promised, that is. With the Nokia 6200 EDGE handset, users are able to download content, applications, access Internet and intranet information quickly and efficiently at data rates approximately two times (up to 118 kbps) that of conventional dial up (56 kbps). Smooooking speed. What does "up to" mean? If Jupiter is aligned with Mars, only two users on cell, etc.? <ggg>
