Don't hold your breath. I suspect CDMA as we know it will be in service for at least another decade. Why? Because it is in the best interests of both Sprint and Verizon to lock you into their system, and if they migrated to GSM, you could unlock your phone and go to any other carrier.
Money talks.
[b][quote] and I could use GSM while traveling overseas. I am intrigued by the Nokia 9300 & 9500. I understand Cingular will carry the 9300
It's still on hold, as per this quick check of Nokia's web page of phones today.

Your review raises some valid concerns.....

Ah, but the 9300i, also in the works, will have a bigger battery, which solves Problem Number One.
I also suspect part of the remaining problems are solvable by replacing the standard apps with faster and better 3rd party apps, and I'm finding they do exist. __________________
