 rayeger join:2003-07-05 North Royalton, OH | No 3G wirelesss support Either CDMA or WCDMA, I wonder if Apple does not want to pay royalties to Qualcomm???? I would like one of these, but I not going to switch to Cingular to get it. Come on Steve, come up with a EVDO version!!!! |

 | Why no CDMA? Simple, as you said Qualcomm and why build two models when CDMA is a limited market when considering global sales. -- Retaking our country one election at a time. |

Simple, as you said Qualcomm and why build two models when CDMA is a limited market when considering global sales. You'll never see a CDMA/EVDO version of an iPhone for that very reason, along with the fact that the rest of the world uses GSM. UMTS/HSDPA are a whole other ballgame though as it is the world standard for high speed data, and I imagine that it doesn't have anything like that because the phone was developed a year ago when there were no UMTS/HSDPA networks in the US, and Apple only just released it now. Also remember that there is a real squabble over HSDPA and UMTS right now in the USA, with one provider going 1700/2100MHz, another going 850/1900, and no one else having any clue as to which frequency is going to become the norm. -- Bigot - Someone that has won an argument with a Liberal.
