Re: Good Speeds. Umm, EvDO= Evolution Data Only. Hmm Data Only would mean no voice wouldn't it? So you wouldn't get those speeds on your cell phones now would you?
Hmm, I guess you had a hard time with the reading comprehension tests.

Hmm, I guess you're an idiot who doesn't read Press Releases carefully.
BEDMINSTER, N.J., and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless,
the nation's largest and most reliable wireless voice network and the leader
in next generation technology deployment, will begin immediately to expand its
BroadbandAccess service nationally. Powered by Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-
DO) third generation (3G) wide-area network, BroadbandAccess commercial
service, with average user speeds of 300-500 kilobits per second (kbps), is
expected to be available in many major U.S. cities this summer.
Does it say "data only" or "data optimized"? Yeah, you need to understand the meaning of comprehension indeed.
Additionally, unless you're using an analog phone from 1995, your cell phone is digital and the voice is converted to data before it leaves that handset. So everything trasmitted IS 100% digital data. You need to "comprehend" the technology and terminology before you go around spouting that ignorance of yours.
Sheehs.. some people gotta prove how stupid they are every day with their posts.

Yes, it's true at the beginning it will primarily be for laptops (and pda's), but it's only a short matter of time before they contract a handset that will use it as well. AT&T has both 'edge' cards and a handset (which I have) that use EDGE, so I have no doubt that Verizon is planning the same. There just isn't enough profit margin from business-only oriented wireless use to justify the development cost and rollout! Just ask anyone who used to work at Ricochet about that!

Which handset? I have the NEC 515 and it's a great phone. Unfortunately my plan doesn't include mMode, but I'd love to be able to try it sometime. |

Verizon just announced a new high-speed wireless Internet service. It's called EvDO for Evolution Data Only
»www.nbc4.com/technology/2045536/detail.html
Furthermore, Feb 2004 PC World has an article on 3G (EDGE and EVDO). They call it "Evolution Data Only."

People in locations who can't get Cable or DSL, may get 3G for their desktop PC or home network. |

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think the 515 is GPRS, not edge. |

Yeah, but with upload sloer than modem. Gaming is definitely out of the question. Nor is upload files.

Haha.. The arrogance. That was directly quoted from the press release of Verizon. If it's wrong, go tell it to Verizon.

No one in my market calls it "optimized". It's Data Only.
Why? Because that's what Lucent calls it. Perhaps other vendors like Nortel call it something different. |

Actually I have always thought that people that are rude are the most stupid of all.

You are quite correct. NEC 515 and 525 both are GPRS.

Actually, if you ever used it you would know that phones like mine (Kyocera 7135) do work on that network. The reason is when you set it to modem, it goes into a data only mode and cannot be used for voice. Geez, who would have thought, huh. I have used the network in Frisco, without any changes necessary from my normal express network settings and got downloads of about 300 stationary according to the speed check on this site. Works pretty good. I average about 90 in my home area of Indiana on Express Network. Still not too bad for general web surfing and e-mail. No heavy donloading at that speed though. Moral of the story is if you don't know something, keep the trap shut or you will embarrass yourself. Let the flame begin  |
