That's it exactly! One of my first employers was a locally owned tel. co. that dove into the wireless market 20+ years ago. LOL and we (well some of us anyway) probably remember bag phones and the first star tac! Most of the phone plans only had what 30 minutes on them!!!!! :18:

Look where we are now, I can't wait! :dance::dance:

Let me modify SMC's statement a bit.

CDMA uses a system called EVDO which is the equivalent of 3G for GSM users which is HSPA.

Verizon, which is uses CDMA is launching their equivalent of 4G which is called LTE sometime late 2010 early 2011. Once they turn the switch on you will be able to use with your phone. However by 2011 I suspect you may have another phone which certainly will be compatible with LTE/4G. Hope that helps.

damn your good. lol....

Remember? I owned a Motorola "Brick" (all metal with Military style antenna), A Bag phone, and a phone Hard wired to the car.
I remember when the Star Tac came out at around $1000 and the only people I saw get them first was the military exec.s

I also had the pager that updated with a scrolling screen of info like news, scores, and voice to text messages.

Man I feel so old now. :buttkick:

ok so can i dumb all this down and see if i get this all....

3G= 3rd generation network... hyped up "cool" name(by specific carriers) to make everyone think its something AMAZING!!! ? But its really just the 3rd generation of "networking technology".

4G= SAME SHIT JUST NEWER AND MORE ADVANCED (and not quite ready for deployment) Based on newer protocols and technology.

So someday in a galaxy far far away, carrier specific "cool names" will be pointless and we'll all have this new technology that works for everyone!?!

Did i get this all right?
