Signs of Recovery In Asia: Late Friday, Moody's Investors Service said they will review South Korean financial instruments related to their currency and bonds for possible upgrades. "The review is prompted by Korea's vastly improved external liquidity position: Official foreign exchange reserves have risen to a level that has begun to allow repayment of emergency financing required during the height of the financial crisis in late 1997-early 1998." South Korea is the world's 11th largest nation based on Gross Domestic Product.

Do Co MO > NTT DoCoMo "Harmonization" Partners Disclosed NTT DoCoMo Deutsche Telekom France Telecom Telecom Italia Mobile British Telecom Summary: 8:41:26 AM 12/21/98 As reported last week in WirelessNOW, Japan's NTT DoCoMo has submitted a compromise document to 3G standards-setters that has been co-signed by Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, Telecom Italia Mobile, British Telecom and others. The group has urged factions headed by Ericsson and Qualcomm to quit fighting over wideband CDMA and cdma2000 technologies so that a standard for 3G technology can be rolled out soon, thus enabling the manufacture of new gear by 2001. The NTT DoCoMo group says in part that settlement of the patents problem should be separate from the current standards process. Reported by the Financial Times, London via NewsEdge Corporation.

Gregg, can't vouch for this 100% but. . . I have struck up a relationship with a guy in one of Sprint's major Bay Area PCS stores [location withheld to protect the innocent]. He is the head technical dude vis a vis a salesperson. Seems very, very well informed to me. His comments on the antenna-less phone: people were/are afraid to buy them because they think that they won't get a good signal. Purely psychological because, according to this guy, the internal antenna is every bit as capable of pulling in as good a signal as the external kind, but a lot of folks just can't deal with it. Regarding relative signal strength of the little Q phone vs. the 2700 the story is different. Q phone definitely not as robust as the 2700 in fringe areas. The guy talks about a smaller 'receptor' in the Q whatever the hell that means. Me not knowing but based on continued day to day comparisons I'd agree: little Q works like a champ when the little bars next to the antenna icon on the screen show at least one and preferably two bars whereas 2700 will keep on trucking even when no bars are showing.
