Qualcomm today announced that it has enhanced the 3G Today website
at www.3GToday.com . The site, developed and maintained by Qualcomm,
is dedicated to highlighting commercial 3G CDMA wireless services
and products around the world.
The enhanced website includes a wireless device database, which
allows users to sort the more than 145 3G CDMA wireless handsets
and devices according to categories such as brand, country, technology,
operator, device type and date of introduction. These devices include
sleek new flip-phones, color phones, smart phones, wireless PDAs
and high-speed wireless modems, from 30 manufacturers worldwide.
"3GToday.com offers an in-depth look at the 3G commercial market
today," said Jeffrey K. Belk, senior vice president of marketing,
Qualcomm. "The rapid pace of 3G device innovation and carrier commercial
launches of new 3G services drove the creation of www.3GToday.com
. Enhancements to the site allow visitors a quick and easy way to
obtain up-to-date information on the latest services and new devices
that are available from 17 operators worldwide. The site also includes
information on the recent nationwide launch by Sprint, including

commercial 3G products and services, such as high-speed wireless
Internet, built-in MP3 and video players, downloadable games and
graphics, polyphonic ringers, location-based safety and security
services, and phones with color displays and camera attachments.
3G CDMA systems such as CDMA2000 1X/1xEV and WCDMA/UMTS carry more
