If my memory serves me correctly, CDMA has had a real world trial in 
Dallas, TX. (At least SOMEWHERE in TX). Qualcomm did at least. I just 
called up US West and they said they have all the CDMA stuff and ready to 
go digital. They said it's just a "flip-of the switch". They said they'll 
have CDMA on the market (OH! This is all in Seattle BTW) by the first - 
second quarter of '95.

I've already seen some of the CDMA dual-mode phones... And HOLY-SMOKES! 
IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A REGULAR AMPS PHONE! :)
