you can use any GSM 3G phone on any GSM 3G network, provided the phone supports the frequencies for the country
Really, it's provided the phone supports the frequencies for the country *and* the provider's network.
FALSE!!! The phone doesn't have to explicitly support the provider's network... Just have to support the frequency used by the provider...
/me goes to send Nokia some feedback asking them to support 3G CDMA.
Why should they support 3G CDMA??? It's a crappy and outdated technology that will die soon(4G/LTE will not work on CDMA, only GSM)
If WindRiver slowly gets 'nudged' to drop PPC support/updates/new versions of VxWorks and boost x86 support, then that may be enough to get us off the VxWorks teat and on to something more open, like RTEMS.
Why RTEMS? why not use embedded Linux like uclinux, Timesys, Montavista,etc?
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
