>> while QCOM won't come down on their royalty price for any CDMA stuff that Nokia makes, QCOM might agree to pay something for the W part of WCDMA, i.e. some GSM intellectual property in order to enter the WCDMA asics area. I suppose this last point is a minor matter.

Au contraire. I'd guess this is focal point of any qcom/nok discussions. Qualcomm would stir up one helluva storm in their existing value chain if they cut a sweetheart deal with NOK on cdma licensing rates, so the gsm side of the equation is all that could be negotiated without the liability of repercussions.
