Re: if a single device has bluetooth PAN it doesnt matter
said by Rob  :said by inteller :in 2008, 2-4Mb will be passe. By then I expect to have a HSDPA phone with BT PAN that anything in the PAN can suck down speeds in excess of 2-4Mbps. You would think that huh? But we're talking about America, Land of the Greed, Home of the Cheap. Not to mention that I highly doubt 2-4 meg will be considered "passe'", at the rate DSL, cable, and fiber deployment are gong, it'll be decades before we get what the urbanites have had for years.
$55 a month, huh? HMmm, that's $5 cheaper than EVDO..perhaps they'll offer Sero WiMAX for $45 a month? |

Absolutely, this is the kind of BS I'm predficitng ever since these current WiMax-Sprint news are dominating.
HSDPA is already at 3.xMb in Europe - this "2-4Mb in 2008" is totally pathetic, clear sign of a loser.

| Not all people enjoy handing over their money to AT&T Kamm; not only that, but I think it'll be a long time before HSDPA has coverage that is as wide as EVDO (and, in the future WiMAX). Not to mention, I think it'll be a while before we see speeds like Europe.
Besides, if I recall,WiMAX will have much much lower latency than EVDO or HSDPA. |

Why is it any better to hand it to Sprint?
You're not making sense...

TMO will launch its coverage this year - I predict they will be on-pair with EVDO by the end of 2008.
(and, in the future WiMAX).
{i]Future[/i] WiMax has zero current coverage...
Not to mention, I think it'll be a while before we see speeds like Europe.
That's a problem, I agree but I hope things will change very soon, within a year.
Besides, if I recall,WiMAX will have much much lower latency than EVDO or HSDPA.
WiMax doesn't really have anything because it's a paperware at Sprint so far, a future product.

Simple, because I hate AT&T; they're a monopoly and, from many of the things I've read and seen, I'm not, at all, impressed with their service. Not to mention the fact that they're a virtual monopoly now.
TMO will launch its coverage this year - I predict they will be on-pair with EVDO by the end of 2008. A lot can happen in 2 years; disasters, economic crashes, etc...EVDO plans on having the majority of it's network up by the 3rd quarter of this year. |

Isn't HSDPA a software upgrade or am I confusing that with Flash-OFDM?
If so then they should have coverage much more sooner than later. |
