Correction 3G is based on both the GSM & CDMA standard. The CDMA in the nominclature relates to technologies currently in use with CDMA, although most of the codecs and structure of the network (Base Station, GGSN, SGSN, iHLR, VLR, etc) is a Hardware & software upgrade to any GSM/GPRS/EDGE core network. You'll notice that the SIM cards are at a different standard 64 vs 32. Also you'll notice the band in Europe is much higher 2100Mhz, but that has to do more with spectrum that anything else as here in North America it works on existing GSM networks. (take caution not to state that Cingular's network began with GSM core as it didnt, like AT&T it was originally on TDMA just like Rogers here in Canada.).

I didnt say that WCDMA had to do with Sprint (not Spring, typo of course), & Verizon. I stated "You cannot separate 3G from Qualcomm or WCDMA/UMTS no matter how you slice it; you'll notice that CDMA is in the nominclature WCDMA as its officialy written W-CDMA." HSDPA is NOT a patent that Qualcomm holds if I'm not mistaken.

The photo of this device being claimed to debut on Vodafone which has a W-CDMA network, should NOT be having a battery cover stating "CDMA by Qualcomm". which makes me believe that another proto was meant for the CDMA core networks.

Am I the only one who prefers the black rogers 8700? The vodaphone 8707, other than being different, doesn't look all that great to me. Just my two cents.

I agree with you Shane, the black 8700 looks better than the 8707 and my 8700c. Is that new t-mo 8700 black? The pics look really cool.

I agree with you, Paul - I've played with the PocketDay app, and true, it provides the same features plus more, but I never got used to the look of it. I much prefer the 8707 ones since they look to integrate much cleaner with the device itself...

What's with the swirly, psychodelic look on the front and the top.

That I'm not digging.
