HTC CDMA Pocket PC Phone Edition Approved by FCC
The "Falcon", HTC's codename for the CDMA 1xRTT version of their popular Pocket PC Phone Edition, was approved by the FCC today. It's a dual-band device that looks very similar to its GSM/GPRS cousin, but has a second stub antenna for GPS support.
Hopefully a US/Canadian carrier will carry this soon. The FCC documentation for this device can be found here.

HTC CDMA PPCPE
I wonder which will come first the HTC CDMA PPCPE or the Samsung CDMA PPCPE or the Hitachi CDMA PPCPE.... You know what either way the patience of Sprint PCS users may finally pay off and we will have three choices as opposed to GPRS User's one choice for a PPCPE device.
SO hahahahahahaha. Not that I will ever see the Samsung or Hitachi. Hech the Samsung was approved in August.
Sides I am still not thrilled with the sizes of the PPCPEs.

is this form of CDMA ...
is this form of CDMA compatible with Sprint only, or will it work with Verizon? I still can't believe that a phone edition is not available for a company as large as verizon.

Not clear yet which provider will offer it, but both can. It's dual-band CDMA 800/1900, no analog. Verizon offers this for some of their handheld devices, including the Thera. Sprint also offers a couple devices, like their equivalent of the Thera, that's dual-band 800/1900; although they only use 1900, people have reported sporadic success roaming onto Verizon & related networks.

Since I am a loyal Verizon user (6 months more to go on my 2-yr contract), I am certainly excited about the prospect of finally getting a version of the PPCPE for CDMA.
No matter which way you argue the point, 1xRTT is the fastest wireless solution available right now. Now I will have the choice of buying an 1xRTT enabled phone and tether it to my PPC or a CDMA version of PPCPE. It is a good day indeed.

Not sure if I understand your question, but here goes: In the US, Sprint already offers nationwide 1xRTT. Verizon offers it in quite a few locations and is rapidly deploying. See http://www.verizonwireless.com/express_network/. I don't know if cdma2000 1x is being deployed in India, however... I heard rumors but nothing specific. But if you're in India, you should aim for the exiting GSM/GPRS version
