However, the problem for W-CDMA, if you trust Jacobs expertise on this, is that it does not work. Or at least has yet to be shown that it will work.
He listed two big problems (phones overheat and inefficient use of spectrum) that they are having with no apparent path to a solution.


I think you are misunderstanding what Jacobs was saying. I didn't hear him say anything bad about W-CDMA. The worst I think I have heard him say was it had no advantage over CDMA2000. The overheating problem is with EDGE (and maybe GPRS but that will have to wait until it is sufficiently developed to actually test it).
