Dolfan, about non-CDMA phones in Europe: " I believe it may be the GSM protocol. Let me do some research and I will post it. If anyone would care to answer this reply please do." GSM is the wireless standard in Europe. GSM also has a wide global following in China and Australia. USA has a number of different standards IS-136 TDMA, IS-95 CDMA for example. IS-95 is also used in Korea Japan has gone its own way too.(DCS, PHS etc) Most of these standard support some form of Data. e.g. EDGE initiative for GSM and TDMA systems. What is lacking in the wireless data world today is a 'killer app'. Hope this helps. w.
