Darrell - Dave, among other things they use different chip rates (ASIC) which is what Ericsson and Qualcomm are coming to terms on relative to 3G. GSM is compatible with the proposed Ericsson chip rate. Dave is right. This is something that even Ericsson never implies in their formal press releases although this misconception does mysteriously show up in many articles? (Read into that what you want) GSM is no more and no less compatible with one chip rate than it is another, since GSM and other TDMA technologies do not use chip'ing. I'll post some technical data on this subject which may give it some understanding/buffering transmissions relative to CDMA vs TDMA/GSM. Be very interested to see what is causing the confusion. Clark
