FYI Denso is NOT a minor cellphone producer.  In the USA, they produce CDMA phones for Sprint PCS under the Touchpoint name.  I have a Denso TP2200.
I sell Sprint phones, and 3G is being turned on this weekend.  While USA cellular is behind Europe, the Sprint 1.9Ghz CDMA phones are the cutting edge here.  
Interesting note (I didn't sign the NDA :)  the new CDMA phones (like the Denso) are full color and have a lot of cool features.  One of the games that was shown on the powerpoint presentation looked suspiciously like Road Rash on the A500.
I haven't gotten the answer as to whether or not the Sprint phones are running Amiga Anywhere, but the Sendo announcement leads me to think they are.
That is HUGE news as Sprint is the fastest growing carrier in the US.  My company sells thousands  (sometimes tens of thousands) of their phones every day.
BOING!

@Kronos

The company "Sendo" Is little known, but they private label a huge amount of phones for Sprint.
If PCS phones are going to come with AA, Amiga will be everywhere soon.
With Sprint being the first American company to offer 3G, and the only nationwide CDMA system, involvement with them would be incredible for Amiga.
I hope they are involved.... Starting today, the average television viewer will be exposed to 27 Sprint 3G commercials per week.
I haven't gotten the 3G phones in my shop yet, as we are in a secondary market and inventory is not yet adequate to supply all 7000 of our stores.  We did get a dummy phone in of the new Sanyo 4900 :) .  
3G here is going to be the biggest product rollout in wireless since the birth of Cellular.

One more note....

Doing a little research, I have found that Sendo is going to be the supplier of GSM/GPRS phones for Cingular Wireless, who is making the transition this fall.

The phone that Cingular (The USA's second largest Cellular carrier behind Verizon) will be selling?
The Z100, which is the phone preloaded with Amiga Anywhere.
Many of our shops also carry Cinuglar service, though we don't do near the numbers nationally with Cingular (Cellular) that we do with Sprint (PCS).
Cingular is very much big league with 22M customers and 14.3 Billion is revenue.

All that being said, I really hope that AA is on the sprint side too... I heard Amiga and Sprint mentioned in the same sentence a few weeks back and my hopes are high.
