Thanks for the photos Caxton! I'm looking forwards to the days when stereoscopic video images are available from all over the world. cdmaOne Multimedia will come into its own then. The little headset from Sony will make it as good as being there. With zoom binocular vision it will be better than being there. Meanwhile, Globalstar is taking a bath as expected and Qualcomm is about to do another of its momentum runs. It happens time after time. I advised a good friend - yes, you John Ashbolt, you owe me a dirty great, big, fat lunch up the Skytower - to swap from Globalstar to Qualcomm. Which he did. I didn't due to not being a trader which means no capital gains taxes for me to pay. But, here is the sad news. My bloody QCP820 went bust a couple of days ago. I've been using it in analog only mode since there is no cdmaOne service here. The keyboard doesn't work. It was sitting there with the keyguard on. So I tried to key in 1, 2, 3 to unlock it. Nope. It didn't want to know. I tried taking the battery off. Nope. I tried running it from the recharger. I got the keyguard off by taking the battery off, but no keys would work. Power key doesn't work. Nothing. I have got a dead phone!!! I am not happy. Is this one in 5 million or are there lots of dead Qualcomm phones around the place? Now I have to send the bloody thing all the way back to the USA to get replacement or repair or something. Has anyone else had failure of their handset? It has been really good while it lasted. Voice quality in analog mode was much better than my brother in law's Motorola phone. Battery life wasn't too good though in analog mode - as they say, it is 4 times as good in cdmaOne mode. I don't even know where to send it. Any Qualcomm quality control people reading this want to do something about it? :-[ Mqurice Left with only a photo of a happy guy with you and Ramsey in front of Qualcomm phoning home using cdmaOne.
