The W-CDMA chips will be available in the third quarter of 2001, Thornley said. South Korea, the biggest market for Qualcomm chips, is considering adopting W-CDMA as the next national cell- phone standard instead of cdma2000.

Above is the sentences I believe you are referring to. Note the "period" after "Thornley said." The next sentence was from the news reports we have all heard and read a number of times. It is not what Thornley said.

Another point on the Korea situation. Samsung is running their cell phone factory 24/7. They could produce the max plan of 30 million units this year. If they do not sell all of them in Korea, they can ship them to Brazil and eat NOK's lunch there. Or what about fill the reported out-of-stock shortages of their CDMA phones here?

Also, someone else mentioned this here when the Korea news was first mentioned. Sales of Korean phones exported generate royalties in dollars and not Korean Wan (sic).

I think we shall see what's what very soon.
