With regards to handsets....Ericsson HAS agreed to pay royalties to Qualcomm.

Let me extract a single line from the article -

the royalty rates are independent (his emphasis) of which of the modes are being used for CDMA and so it's not [that issue, it is solved] (I'm unsure on wording here) between the two companies.

That would tend to imply what I suspect, that there aren't 3G specific licenses. Anyone who has a license to use Qualcomm's patents can use them for whatever technology. So unless Qualcomm has patents that apply specifically to W-CDMA but not any of the other variants of CDMA, I wouldn't expect any separate licensing for W-CDMA.
