>> If Japan does go with WCDMA technology do you think it will change the status of QCOM as a gorilla?

Absolutely not. Q's Gorilla nature is based on their ipr, and they can only be displaced by a discontinuous innovation, ie, something that leapfrog's cdma. Since wcdma is only a variant of cdma and royalties will still be due to Q, it will not affect their status as a Gorilla. An additional fact to consider is wcdma is vaporware at this time, and may never come out of the lab.
