Bux "Q has offered to provide Nokia with handset ASIC's that are far superior to the ASIC's Nokia has been able to produce (this is widely recognized) but Nokia has stubbornly refused."
no. this is not widely recognized. ASIC "approval" processes at certain companies are no more honest than many NYSE specialists. these approval processes are given wide latitude from which to make subjective judgements relative to quality. Sprint, and many others in Korea and Japan, performed the same tests on NOK's CDMA ASICs as did Bell, sprint reported no problems, but Bell did? it was a possible Q inspired victory. BellAt did finally approve for one Nokia CDMA based phone when Nokia visited their plant and requested approval data. it almost appeared that someone was caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
now you and the writer who spread the story trumpet this process as a victory for Q and a slap on Nok's hands. Yet, Sprint, DDI, DDO, and many others selling the NOK CDMA phones continues to report no significant problems.
as for "far superior,"; name the criteria under which you presume "far superior". this is not a test. we've already studied some of the data, including MOS scores, dropped calls, handover, tranmsission error redundancy, and so on |
