The rumour around here among the bottom feeders like myself is that they aren't worrying about "unnecessary" maintenance on CDMA because it's going anyway. Besides if the service isn't as good as it once was, well, that's a good reason to upgrade to Next G(arbage) isn't it ... I had a mate ring today on his NextG whizbang device. He had to re-dial three times for us to complete the basics of the conversation; he was only 5 km from the nearest cell, and had 4 bars out of 5 on his sig strength meter. Apparently this was typical of the performance he has been getting since he changed over form CDMA some months back. It's not very encouraging. I think we'd better get back to gliding - this is becoming too depressing.
