If I had a completed phone designed and together today, it would take approximately 6 months to get it to market. First I have to get a production line running and qualify this. this takes a minimum of 3 months, even with the walk on water type guys (mike432 types!!), then it takes at the very least 3 months to go through a vendor qualification routine. This involves alot of drive testing, voice quality, network respones testing, and a very formal checklist. Once this is performed, you need to then go back make changes to the production line testing proceedures and then ramp up enough to do the initial stocking of the carriers shelves, which can take anywhere from 10k to 50k phones. This is actually VERY quick for them to build a phone and shows that there is a high degree of cooperation between Qualcomm and ERICY on this.
