>>I guess I should have read this response before making my long post. << Your long post and point were appreciated. But old timers know that roaming has been a BS issue periodically regurgitated and overblown by the GSMers over the last several years. CDMA subs have about tripled since I first heard this issue. Recent criticisms have centered on India stating that roaming is a main reason for CDMA decline. Common sense tells me that someone from India who is concerned whether his handset costs 45 or 50 dollars is not likely to be concerned with a handset that works when he takes his ox for a yearly tour of Italy, Paris, and Amsterdam. Korea and Japan, the most notorious travelers in the world, do quite well with CDMA. >>Those will both eventually be true, but they add absolutely nothing to the conversation on this board.<< From time to time I may post my vision of the wireless future. About four years ago on the MF board, in the midsts of naysayers stating that color screens and camera phones would never make it I posted that they would be one of the main reasons for the resurgence in handsets and QCOM stock price that we experienced. Had no proof, just common sense, but some may have found it useful. To those who don't, I apologize in advance of future postings. As far as any members wagering amongst themselves I agree that such things are non productive to the board. Logic, not wagering, are the best forms of rebuttal.
