re: these should solve most of that problem ========== 3GSM vendors and carriers come out with deceptions in the form of specifications and deadlines... again... and again... and again. It's strikes me as remarkable... at this point... that one might assume credibility. How do you keep the faith? <g> If history is a guide, a little time may well take the shine off of this PR as well. Interesting that DoCoMo puts FOMA in the closet as they unveil magic handsets: "Our main focus for a while is the second-generation (2G) cell phones with a built-in cameras, rather than FOMA, the third-generation (3G) cell phone service." The company took back its original strategy that it would encourage its users to shift to FOMA as soon as possible." Message 18368905 What about those capacity issues? <g> Will they still try and claim coverage is the problem as they (ironically) scale back CAPEX? Message 18416462 Are they hungry for some fantasy future-generation cell station amplifiers? LOL!

What are "static stand-by" and "dynamic stand-by"? re "The F2051 offers approximately 170 hours of continuous dynamic stand-by, or about 230 hours of static stand-by, some 3.3 times longer than original FOMA models." NTT DoCoMo's definitions: Static stand-by: "An estimate of continuous stand-by time when the [edit: handset] remains motionless." Dynamic stand-by: "An estimate of continuous stand-by time when handset remains closed and is in transit within an area where reception is normal." !!!!!!!!! So 35% of the battery's standby capacity is lost when the handset is moving. Is this all due to non-synchronous W-CDMA (DoCoMo's version)? Is there a similar loss with cdmaOne and CDMA2000? Ron
