in the mean time I still hang on to me 3 (or may be 4 ) year old TDMA ............old and reliable nokia phone
I hate phones with a vengance.....they only
a) inconvenience me
b) wake me up with problems
c) etc etc
why would any one spend over 100 or may be 200 dollars in a phone ........(and well yeah, I would like a phone that can send /receive emails but ICE is not even there yet!)

ICE tricked us into giving up our TDMA line.
I still use a old Nokia 3220.
Never buying Motorola again. Get this, my wife's phone had a 1 year warranty, we had to wait 1 year 6 days for a phone line -- and the phone stops working after a week of use.
I'd like a phone I could write my own programs for. I have some Panasonic phones with Skype at the house, and they have the most idiotic programming imaginable.
But I'm not going to waste my money until we have 3G. Wolfie, do you know what protocol that Chinese company bid to build? HSPDA? W-CDMA? EV-DO?
My Acer netbook has a SIM slot for HSPDA. That would be cool, if we ever get it.
no clue as to what protocol they could use, I googled randomly and they have products that support all the ones you mentioned.
right now I have a gsm phone collecting dust in the closet as my TDMA works fine and simply got a line (after I got an appointment about a year ago)
I remember that I still lived in Sabanilla (circa 2001) when ICE anounced their ADSL product.....and that took over 5 years to actually happen......
if these 3G lines materialize in a couple of years ....I will be very surprised (we will probably see new operators putting their own systems into place before that timeframe.....now LINKING the networks......that I am going to have fun watching.........I know in some of our latin american neighbors you can't call lines operated by a different company OR you pay outrageous fees)

it would appear they were looking for wcdma/hsdpa but that info is exactly one year old

shut up pip-squeak, the phone works fine down here, never had a call drop, but i don't have very long conversations.
maybe you should move out of lyon 13, and you'll be able to get a signal.
Just passing on real experience by other iPhone users here.
It is my presumption this may be do to bad chipset as reported elsewhere, but maybe the phone just sucks. The chipset has bugs and doesn't handle weak signals well. ICE coverage has holes everywhere.
No idea where Lyon 13 is. Is that where you grew up?

its Leon......not lyon......you sound canadian (from Quebec of course!, so that is indeed a double insult)
