    Motorola better have no less than a 64k color screen on that phone, otherwise its just another paperweight in my book.

    Lemme try and explain.

    CDMA...potential customer base 50-150 million

    GSM....poetentail customer base...1.5 Billion plus.

    Who would you make phones for?

    While your initial premise is undoubtedly correct, that is, GSM has a greater client base, I think you reasoning is slightly flawed. Manufactuers are not producing these phones, in whatever format, and then hoping a carrier picks it up. That is not cost effective. I think it is more accurate that Spint, Verizon, T-Mobile, whoever, has commissioned phones from the manufacturers with whatever specs/features/design they want.

    Anyway, phones capable of operating on multiple networks are the future. Just my 2 cents.

    Yes, this is true, since wireless providers don't seem to be able to agree on which technology works best. This is where PFP, Inc. will make it's fortune: the world's first AMPS/CDMA/TDMA/GSM/iDEN phone using .3 watts of power but with the strength of a 3 watt bag phone.

    I believe that's the only answer Ceno is *allowed* to give when it comes to something like this. Unless of course, he was just wanting to F* around with us....nah, that's not Ceno, he never does stuff like that.

    This what I like. Finally, something to think about on these forums. All hail Ceno for breathing life back into our discussions

    It leads to a lot of speculation. Oh, damn that non-disclosure proprietary information clause! Damn it straight to Cleveland!

    my hunch is that it will look like the v60t display and keypad , obviusly the outer color has the light blue with the silver.

    I'm gonna go along with the hunch, but, possibly a v60p looking antenna? Of-course don't know for sure, but, still.

    Just what I was hoping you'd say. Think breath's in Verizon's favor? (unofficial word of course)

    if FCC approved this one, it usually takes about 3-4 months if i'm not mistaken .
