To Mika: Thanks. Your points are well taken. But the most interesting part of all this is "What will be inside the phone?" What will be the specs? What will be the differences (if any) between the "spread spectrum" and "direct sequence" sub categories within CDMA? And if there are differences at the beginning, since the only agreement so far seems to be that the choice of surviving technology at the end of the day will be "market driven", what is that likely to be? Great fun to speculate, no? But let's just admit that is what we are doing. Facts are scarce on the ground. Chaz
