Engineer - there will be a PRODUCTION capable HDR chip which runs at less than 100mW at full 2.4 MBPS speeds. No more power in the radio, no more power in the power amp, no more power in the DSP circuits. With a production capable phone at less than 90 gms and still keeps relatively the same battery life.

No. Sorry. I'll say it again - CDMA is more efficient, and HDR will undoubtedly be much more efficient than EDGE, ... BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE IN ANY MEANINGFUL SENSE.

Apologies for being confrontational, but over-hype irks me. The power needed to transmit a chip bit and the power needed to transmit a data bit are very very different things - especially when you are using a less power efficient modulation scheme.
