Greg, - [Just as Apple has a spoof on Pentium, imagine a BAM spoof on Omnipoint. Just think what you can do with a parrot. O.K., so maybe it's not BAM's style, but it sure would be fun!] How about one of those friendly giants accidently stepping on the parrot. As the parrot dies, he makes a sound similar to static on the cellular. Joe

Great ideas, Greg. Let me throw out another: people I know don't give an owls hoot about cdma, gsm or xyz. They want a phone built on "HyperConnect", "Q-Clear", or "Crystal*Q" technology. The salesperson can get into CDMA if the buyer is an inquiring-minds- want-to-know-type. Like I said before, there is a huge segment of the market who comes from the perspective of "CDMA, shmeedeeemmmaaa; what colors does it come in and can I get my e-mail". This is probably not true in countries where a tin can and string beat the current system but is, I think, where the product differentiators are more "irrational", as Houston CPA calls them. What think you?
