Then you accuse others of wanting to start a fight. Wow.

Sometimes I wish there were a No Thanks button.

Phase 4 (Maemo 5) will have HSPA for data only (I hope it also has EDGE, though).

Phase 5 will have voice and SMS/MMS as well, and thus be a full phone.


(that, or phase 5 wont be delivered until after 4G is here, and there's no longer a distinction between voice, messaging, and data -- instead we'll have high speed carrier delivered voip instead of a dedicated voice channel, and ubiquitous IM presence on your phone instead of an SMS/MMS channel)

I wouldn't call that a prediction... ;)

They didn't have the internet in the Stone Age, genius. That had to wait for Al Gore.

I thought it was not yet clear/official/decided whether or not they were going to be putting the voice/SMS/MMS support into Maemo 5? All they had announced was HSPA?

Is that wrong?

I think that's all they've announced. But I'd say it's a pretty safe guess. ;)

3G is the big story here.

The main part wasn't the "Maemo 5 gives HSPA only", it was noting that despite "5", this is only step 4, and the prediction that step 5 will have full phone capabilities (relative to whichever phone network model is in place when it finally gets delivered).

Really? What Prediction exactly (just wondering)

I always though the tablets were NOT meant to be traditional phones. I personally like the inclusion of 3G, but would NEVER buy a tablet if it was a phone. It just seems wrong in a tablet. The future, everything will run off one data link, maybe IP or something better. The tablets are a step into that future.
