en102 Canadian, eh? join:2001-01-26 Valencia, CA ·RoadRunner Cable ·DSL EXTREME	Unlocked CDMA devices... ? Wireless open access is nice, but don't think its going to be 'all that'. 1. Where are you going to find unlocked CDMA 1x/EVDO devices ? 2. What 'cost' is going to be associated with 'ceritification' for VWZ's network (I don't suspect they'll certify a portable bittorrent device). What kind of wireless interface will Google be using ? GSM, CDMA, WiMAX, WiFi, or something else ? -- Canada = Hollywood North

Their prices are the same as their unlocked GSM equivalents (much more expensive than the same handset with a plan). What's the real reason for the cost differences between GSM and CDMA versions of the same handset? And don't give me that GSM is more prevalent so it's cheaper guff, as right now the price differences for the same handset, whether GSM or CDMA, are less than five percent (in fact, in most cases, there's no price difference at all).
