whats up,
i work for verizon wireless and im telling you 1st hand that the rigorous testing is not a front. the reason we out thing through these kinds of testing is because we want to make sure our product works. we don't just make a ton of phones and see what happens. you have to go to sprint or cingular for that. plus we have 2 new phones with bluetooth coming out this month.

Well Omar, lets see... Cingular just released 2 new bluetooth phones as well...the Motorola V600 and Sony Ericsson P637, both bluetooth camera phones. And the Treo 600 is ALREADY HERE, and worldband GSM capable. We test just as rigorously, and have been recognized for it as well, but the fact is this, Omar: Phone vendors will put out more phones for what technology makes them the most, because they recover their R&D expenditures faster. That means they will develop GSM handsets much more often than CDMA handsets. Want numbers to support it? According to the EMC World Cellular Database, as of March 2004, there were 199 million CDMA subscribers worldwide. For that same timeframe there were 1.44 BILLION GSM subscribers. Where would you put you...
