What makes it better than phones in Europe? The only better thing it basicly has is 65 k color display compared to the most of the phones sold in Europe.

It is a CDMA 1xRTT phone, with a download speed of 144kbps.
When Nokia release their '3G' 6650 next year, it won't be able to achieve these speeds. |

And if we left out the network dependent issues, what's left? I thought were talking about phone capabilities, not network capabilities. |

looks neat, lets see SE release it in the Asia Pacific region. Nokia has just released a new one here... the 3530... looks kinda like the 3650 without the camera... but has a color screen, gprs, polyphonic sounds and is quite affordable.

Not so good news from http://www.threegmobile.net
-quote from their website-
Nov 29 : ITU Telecom Asia Sad news: confirmed by PR agency for Sony Ericsson Hong Kong, there will be no totally new announced handset in Sony Ericsson booth during the ITU Telecom Asia, However, ThreeGMobile cannot confirm whether there will be new phone in 2 Dec 2002 or not.

I must firmly express that i find the design on T6008 is extremely stylish and clean. Sony Ericsson has always made phones that are much better looking in real life than in pictures. I saw the Nokia 7210 I real-life yesterday and I think it is not a nice looking phone. It actually looks quite old; except for the keypad which is cool but very non-user-friendly. Sony Ericsson’s new design-concept will be a success. Concentrating on a clean, stylish but fresh design with high-quality materials and in that way creating a more personal design easily connected to the brand Sony Ericsson. This is a much better strategy than trying to copy Nokia’s soap-bar design which have been a great success but in my opinion starting to get old. |

Look closely at the side photos of the T608. Along with the colour, I have never seen a phone that look so much like a bar of soap. |

CDMA2000 1X (or 1XRTT): Backward-compatible upgrade to CDMA IS-95. This is seeing its strongest presence in North America (it is used now in Korea, but some operators there have already committed future networks to W-CDMA). CDMA2000 operators must install new channel cards at the base transceiver station, software upgrades at the base station controller and mobile switching center, and a packet core backbone to carry traffic. Infrastructure costs are lower than GPRS and EDGE, and existing terminals are compatible with the new technology, as new terminals are backward-compatible. Service is symmetrical, matching uplink and downlink speeds. This is considered (and is called) 3G by North American and Korean operators and by the ITU in Europe.

I believe that, like GPRS upgrades to GSM basestations in Europe, coverage should be nationwide.

I think this article confirms that.
CDMA20001x has beaten WCDMA senseless in Japan over the last year.
WCDMA has picked up 135,000 subscribers since Oct 2001, due to dropped calls, product recalls, 50 hours quoted standby with no use among other problems..
CDMA20001x has picked up over 3 million subscribers since april, due to long battery life handsets and immediate nationwide coverage.
The same situation applies in South Korea, where there are over 7 million 3G (CDMA20001x) subscribers, and WCDMA has yet to get off the ground.
I live in the UK by the way. |
