"...the study also found that 'customers using 3G handsets experienced fewer call quality issues'..."
so my $300 3g phone is better than that 2g phone i get free with a contract, for reals?

Their notes about the average quality of CDMA versus GSM is interesting. The article states that GSM is not as efficient, and therefore requires more towers than CDMA for equivalent call quality. But that would be resolved if GSM were the dominant standard, which it is not, in the US. Market forces at work, I suppose.

Still, hard to decide: cool phone... good quality...]]>Apr 2nd 2008 10:21AM
