Excellent book!, 2007-01-03
Although I find it sometimes a little too deep in the details, every chapter has a good overview of the technologies.

An Excellent Choice for the Professional, 2004-07-30
I really liked this book. I thought the diagrams were well displayed. I learned so much from reading this book. Experience in the networking field will help you understand 3G networks. This book has a lot of terminology. This book has a lot of usefull diagrams. Also this book has a lot of pictures. A picture is worth a 1000 words. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn 3G wireless networks.

A Review From A Wireless Capacity Planning Mgr.'s Perspectiv, 2002-03-26
I thought this book gives an excellent overview at the 10,000 foot level of all the related technologies. It's perfect for someone in either a Technical Manager or a Senior Manager role to understand the basic vibe of what these technologies are and how they work without getting bogged down into too much "bits and bytes" level detail.I found the book to be a bit lacking on some dimensioning and planning details and methodologies though.
Overall, it's a good book to reference with.
