Comments on: pdQ² Price and Size Revealed
InfoWorld has an article on Kyocera Wireless' forthcoming pdQ² that gives some details that weren't previously available. Quoting "sources familiar with the SmartPhone", they say it will cost between $399 to $449. The exact price will be set by the resellers, typically wireless ISPs. They go on to say that the pdQ² will have 8MB of memory and a screen smaller than that of a Palm III or V, which seems to imply that it will be about the size of the m100 screen. The whole case will be 0.86 inches thick, about five inches long, and weigh about seven ounces. The sources confirmed that it will be using OS 3.5.

Hmm, my quotation got lost in that. The paragraph I was dissing ;-) was:
"The SmartPhone will be the first Palm OS-compatible handset that is designed for CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) networks. CDMA is used by Sprint PCS as well as AT&T Wireless and consumers can expect both wireless providers to offer their own customized version of the handsets."
GSM? 1800 + 900?
ok, we know GSM sucks in the USA (blame your mobile operators for that) - but its a great system and is concrete in the remainder of the world. what are the issues revolving around providing this phone with GSM access? a tri-band configuation (900, 1800 and 1900 [usa]) is what will make this product a killer.

The PDQ2 (duh) succeeds the original PDQ from Qualcomm, also CDMA. CDMA is used by Sprint PCS and Verizon. AT&T uses TDMA and can't use this phone.
