Rocket, I cannot understand your premises. What are you talking about? #1...Copying also has a few drawbacks as there are design patents in the chipsets as well. What I was saying is that it is not hard to read the IS95 spec and implement each block as required. It is hard to make them low power, low cost, and well integrated into the RF system. Although the spec requires certain RF levels to work, you must go beyond that in many areas to get good working chipsets. this is what MOT and NOK have been finding out and why their phones drew 50-100 times as much power once they turned them on. Door #3 means that they are going to chase them. After how many years would you let the R&D continue if they did not produce anything and were loosing market share? #3 can only continue if they really have the right ASICs in process or a fiarly good working phone.
