To Slacker711: Most interesting. As I understand it, TI supplies Nokia DSPs for their GSM and TDMA phones only and Nokia makes its own ASICs for its CDMA phones. Note that the supply of Nokia CDMA phones has been limited to put it politely to date (nonexistent is perhaps more accurate). What TI might supply when (and if) Nokia becomes a serious CDMA handset producer, I for one, don't have a clue. Chaz

PS Texas Instruments should have to skills to be a competitor to the Q in chips but am curious why this has not yet happened. Clearly the Q has a depth of experience in ASIC chip design (and uses Intel and IBM for foundries remember - no babes in the woods for chip production BTW) so perhaps it is not a lay down for TI dominance. :-)
