Moto is rumoring to have a phone called the ROCKR that is a full mp3 player and phone. I do not know the release date though
as far as the phones, they're coming, but it's slow. it's asia getting revenge on us for making a movie about samurais staring Tom Cruise.

Please stop shouting... 🙄
🤣 You know you are annoying when Rich puts the smack down.
The SE S710a comes w/ 32mb built in & a 32mb memstick duo & is upgradable to 128mb. There are already a couple Nokias (the 6230 & 6620) that use MMC & play MP3's - plus Moto has the MPX220 that uses mini-SD.
These are several examples of phones that play MP3s & have larger storage capacity than your typical phone. So WTF are you whining about??? Open up your eyes.

but really how can you argue cdma does not get better reception in more places.
To make a blanket-type statement like that is a matter of opinion for which there is no reliable, unbiased research to support the claim one way or another. Perhaps where you live there is better CDMA coverage. That being the case, then CDMA would be the best choice. Also, if that is the case and I lived where you're at, then I'd consider getting cdma again too.
The places I've lived in the last couple years, coverage is even between major cdma & gsm carriers. As I stated earlier, I used to have VZW. I wasn't unhappy w/ them. I switched b/c of the "deal" I found I could get w/ rollover minutes. Don't...

I do agree with you that there is the possibility, because of the euro-system being what it is, we'll all go GSM. The other possibility that I see is WCDMA (I hope). It is my hope that as profits continue to grow for the service providers, that the...

but who knows maybe they are getting the tdma towwers? but i am pritty sure as part of the merdger with at&t and cingular at&t was forced to sell off some of it's network and t-mob bought some gsm network out west.

The fact that with the merger of Cingular and AT&T wireless also is that Cingular is now upgrading all of AT&T's old towers to GSM as well. Combine that with the already in progress new towers... seems like some good coverage all around to me.
i sure hope so because with gsm you do need to have an insiane amount of towers to deliver any resonable signal in a populated aria. it take 10 gsm towers to equal 1 cdma tower. now befoe you all go flappen your jaws lake a flock of crows. the reason i say this is because it is a proven fact cdma has 10 times the call capacity of gsm
