I believe all are, or will be, nationwide (e.g. major cities and interstate highways), by the end of the year. T-Mobile currently has the largest GSM/GPRS footprint, I think (please correct me if I am wrong). cp __________________ _________________________________ Charlie

But now the website is revamped as HP and I called to ask specs and release dates and they acted like theydid not know what I was talking about. My speculation that it is due to the upcoming release of the new 5000 series which some will have the gsm/gprs intergrated. Dont worry though when I did get a compaq tech I was told that it did not have any dual expansion so if you were using it then no CF or PC cards could be attached. That would be a bummer to keep changing sleeves. nene

From what I've heard, there will only be TWO models out in time for Christmas: a low-end, smaller iPAQ and a WiFi version of the 5400 series. Any model with phone capabilities is likely to be in Q1 of 2003... I'd love to be wrong on that, but I think that's what we'll see. I also think that we won't see BT, WiFi and GPRS all in one device. There will be different models with combinations of each... Matt __________________ Matt Coddington Founder, Windows Mobile Louisville

tpaxton Neophyte Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 5		GSM for i Paq Pocket PC I am interested in purchasing a Smartphone now.... however Voicestream unit is quite limited in PDA expansion.. and only 4k colors ATT will have the new Seimens unit in a couple of weeks, and we'll have to see... there is a GSM/GPRS add-on to their PDA but it appears to bulk-up the size of the unit... I am hoping the iPaq will have this functionality and still be able to have add-on/swap cards... as the iPaq appears to be the best unit on the market... Anything info pertaining to this would be helpful in making a decision now or delaying for the near future.. thanks
