100,

<< does this mean that CDMA20003X will have to look more like WCDMA than a souped up 1X >>

Yes.

1xMC is essentially what Qualcomm's idea of what a 3G migratory step should be to protect an existing user base that represents < 15% of the mobile wireless subscribers in the world and less than 5% of the worlds wireless mobile carriers. It is an early specification rushed through TIA and ITU to get the 3G ball rolling. Only in America is it referred to as a 3G specification.

Give credit to Qualcomm for protecting their rapidly growing user base and providing a super seamless migration path. They have never blinked even though they have lost a few battles in OHG. 1xMC gives their IS-95 users several tremendous advantages over competitive 2.5G technologies and an early migration to higher data rates as opposed to medium data rates.

3xMC presents a totally different challenge. It will have to operate in both synchronous and asynchronous mode. It will have to take advantage of the full bandwidth provided for by WRC and ITU for IMT-2000. It will have to have an R-UIM to authenticate to a WCDMA (and hopefully 2G/2.5G GSM network). It will need some of the sexy compression schemes available to the GSM community for streaming video. It will benefit from Software Defined Radio.
