If you walk around at the subscriber manufacturing building at Qualcomm, you will see that there are like 100-200 800 MHz phones that are for development and another 500 or so which are peoples personal phones at 800 Mhz. In PCS, it is maybe 3-4 times this number. I can't say I recall any busy signals from our cell sites, which happens to be right on the spot where the busiest two freeways get backed up every day and have 100's of cars trying to make calls during rush hour. Must be something else for these guys. 50 phones won't even make a dent.

To all, Is Sprint offering text messaging in other markets, outside of New York? The sale rep in Sprint store in NYC said that Sprint should start offering text messaging by summer, but he was not very sure about the exact dates and features. Presently, Bell Atlantic offers text messaging, but their limit is only 55 characters / message. That brings me to another question: Does Qualcomm or someone else have, or is planning to have handsets with larger displays? The all phones I have seen are 4 lines x 12 characters. I would need something like 4 x 40 or 4 x 60. Joe
