Luis,
thanks for posting this.
i hope that this time, ATT will stick to their dates.
Fall is still a long way off...
anyone care to speculate whether Nokia is committed to making i-mode
handsets?
how about Ericsson (Sony-Ericsson)?
i haven't heard that either of them are providing handsets
for the Euro-imode services, and
this would be logical first step before committing to ATT.
does anyone know otherwise?
thx,
