So what your saying is that CDMA/AMPS is suffient. 800mghz is sprint? therfore a trimode is redundent? Are you saying thin phone will not have CDMA/AMPS?

To Clark: One fly in the ointment is that the Globalstar phone will have 800 CDMA only along with 800 analog and of course the G* CDMA direct to the satellite. This is as I understand it as of now. Globalstar will not rpt not have any Spring PCS 1900 since (ugh) Sprint is tied to Iridium. You would know better than I would but that is what I have learned so far. Chaz

(Ignore this post} Oops, wrong account! Confused by BrowseMaster [Mq not Tarken]. Next oops, this was already answered [I better read the whole thread before posting]. Clark, don't forget Globalstar frequencies and mode. You said: -------------------------------------------------------------- // There are three different bands/modes of interest to Qualcomm in the US: 1) PCS - 1900MHz CDMAOne - Coverage limited to cities and highly travelled routes. 2) Cell CDMAOne - 800MHz - I think the coverage is generally even worse than PCS CDMAOne although I haven't actually checked recently to see how many AMPS cell providers have switched to CDMAOne. 3) AMPS (Analog) - 800MHz - Available almost everywhere, but a real battery hog, and with limited services available. The 2700 series (1900 CDMAOne/800 AMPS) has the advantage of using PCS when it is available, but gets all the coverage of AMPS. (It's a pity there is no 2700 series thin phone.) I don't think that currently a 1900 CDMAOne/800 CDMAOne phone exists (??) but if it did, given the limited coverage of 800MHz CDMAOne, I'm not sure how useful it would be.// ----------------------------------------------------------- Mqurice
