Believe it or not, a good place to start would be the alt.2600 newsgroup.
Mostly hacker-oriented (the "good" hackers, not the "bad" hackers :-),
but there's a lot of stuff there about cel phones. I have the "Motorola
Bible" from alt.2600, which contains complete programming info for most
Motorola cel phones and pagers. This thing is not only loaded with
technical acronyms, but good descriptions of many of them as well.
Hackers love to show off their techie vocabularies, after all :-)
Your friend and mine,
Matt
