Re: 3360 report

[Mark A. Haun]

Indeed, the 3360 seems to be everywhere here in the US.  A good question
would be, where are all the US hacker/programmer types with 3360 phones? 
I've only seen a few posters with 3360's in this list's archives.

A complicating factor is that all the North American TDMA carriers are
migrating to GSM.  It may be another two years before the conversion reaches
outside the major urban areas; however, if we don't hurry, we may achieve
3360 support in Linux about the time TDMA goes extinct!  AT&T claims it will
be all-GSM by the end of 2003, Cingular by sometime in 2004.  I'm not sure
if this should serve as a motivator or a de-motivator :)

Do we have any hard data on the 3360 IR protocol as compared with the
currently-supported GSM phones?  Is it likely to work with gnokii with
minor changes, or is it completely different?  It would be good to know
this, before embarking on the project.
