kshah 452 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 i think this is old news, they made tie up before 2 years. CDMA quality can not improve till operatores and qualcomm decides to do so. They have to let go controlover handsets and has to lay down standards like GSM where every thing can be configured either by user or in SIM not handset. CDMA is purely american, hence dont expect controls to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 ^^^ The dateline of the news report says 4 March 2008. But it could be possible that it was reported 2 years late!!! Anything is possible nowadays..... And yes qualcomm/american control is killing the development of CDMA handsets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
