>>Q must go to those "experts" in software

Any software stack can be seen as dealing with two things
1. The baseband control
2. Call Model management.

In IS-95 CDMA the baseband control is much harder to do than the Call Model Management

In GSM, it is the other way around.

W-CDMA software development will combine the most difficult
aspects of both i.e. CDMA baseband control with a GSM Call Model.

IMO - QCOM will be well advised to 'buy-in' GSM Call Model software, preferably as part of a JV where they can off load some of the work, particularly during the Type Approval and Field Trial phases ...

PS It might surprise people to know that current top line GSM handsets use 4Mbyte of FLASH, 256K RAM and contain close on 1 million lines of code. Compare this to early PC's of 15 years ago.
