Tero: GSM and TDMA would not need to defend their position except for one small problem - they want to convert to CDMA. Also, I don't want to type out lengthy emails on my cell phone to have it sent to someone's computer. I would rather leave a voice-mail that is converted to email. OmniTracs has a lot of experience in that department. Qualcomm also introduced a call in service for email. How about text access to voice mail?

Tero, I have been following your arguments for almost two years now and I used to think you had some good points. But in the last 12 hours your credibility has fallen to the point of none. You have failed to even attempt to back up your claims, instead changing the subject to talk about talk/standby times, GSM market dominance etc... How pathetic. Even newbies to this thread will not be swayed by your rhetoric. It has become increasingly clear to me that even you do not believe your own rhetoric but spew it in a pathetic attempt to keep your GSM/W-CDMA dream afloat and protect the economic prosperity your nation has been enjoying recently. It appears that I am not the only one who has given up waiting for you to fill us in on the technological innovations ERICY has provided that distinguish W-CDMA from CDMA2000.

I read the DataQuest numbers. Why hasn't Dataquest, a firm that exists by its credibility, defended themselves against the subsequent announcement made by Qualcomm? Nokia makes phones that cover all phone standards in the US. Yet, they are the best feature for AT&T? If that is the case, why is AT&T taking customers from competing GSM systems? For the Nokia phones, and SMS? It flies in the face of your claims that "world roaming" actually matters to us. I don't understand your fascination with SMS. What kind of situation would cause me to want to send email to my PC from a phone? I want to get a message to another person using the fastest way possible. I have a hard enough time assigning the speed-dial name to the number even with Qualcomm's jog dial ( a feature Nokia should strongly consider for their own phones.) Why do I want to compose messages by pushing the 5 key three times just to get the letter 'L'? Is this some kind of European symbol of technology machismo to stand in the middle of a walkway trying to compose a message? If GSM has no problems and is growing as per your claims, why is the GSM MOU demonstrated a strong fear of CDMAOne and CDMA2000?
