If all parties still pay Q why would they want to go with the slower more expensive option. Makes no sense, there must be a reason they see that makes wcdma more advantageous to them.

The reason is propaganda and pressure by big-name companies like Nokia who benefit more if DS-CMDA is adopted. Apparently, Nokia feels that they would be due royalties for DS-CDMA. Remember that the final decision will rest with the carriers. They are the ones who will actually be shelling out the money and we're talking multi-billions here.
