I'm a sprint pcs user in portland ME and have a qualcomm dualband. I use the phone primarily as a second line at my office. The voice quality is usually good but sometimes warbly. However, a fair number of people have complained to me stating they can hear themselves talk (echo). The echo usually dissipates after a short while. I've also heard the echo a number of times. Sprint was no help - they said they would put a technician on it. Anyone else experiencing the same difficulties? Any ideas as to cause?

TOKYO (Nikkei)-Sony Corp. has started producing digital cellular phones at a joint venture in Mexico to meet growing demand in the North American market. The venture with Qualcomm Inc. of the U.S. is producing 50,000 cell phones a months based on the code division multiple access (CDMA) standard. The CDMA cellular phone terminals are produced at Sony Tijuana Oeste S.A de C.V, a Sony subsidiary producing videocassette recorders and the PlayStation video game player. With another factory in San Diego in the U.S., the joint venture's annual output capacity has grown to 450,000 units a month. The CDMA system represents the next generation of cellular phones, with far faster transmission speeds than earlier models of digital cellular phones. In addition to the U.S. and Canada, the joint venture is supplying South Korea, and aims to expand sales in other regions that have adopted the CDMA method. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun morning edition)
