It's not like Q can actually offer any unique technology. The most succesful high-end CDMA phones in USA are now Startac, 6185 and Touchpoint, only one of which uses a Qualcomm chipset. So much for the Intel scenario Hmm...When I asked this question two weeks ago your response centered on the fact that Qualcomm was a competitor in the handset division. Now it is because they do not have a competitive enough chipset. A couple of questions.... 1) Has the 6185 been approved for use by BAM or PrimeCo? 2) Does the 6185 support IS-95B....basically data rates upto 64kbps? 3) Is Nokia selling any CDMA phones in Korea or Japan? 4) Will they have chipsets that support 1xrtt by next year? If the answers to all of those questions are no (I'm not positive that they are all true).....Then you should forget about Qualcomm and any antagonism they have created. The central point is this....Nokia is missing a market. I get worried when companies do things that shoot themselves in the foot to simply prove a point. I could go on....but I dont think it will be productive. Nokia will either offer a competitive CDMA phone or they wont....the sales numbers next year will reflect their decisions. Slacker
