Good for QCOM - w/o doubt

This is why NOK started using design houses in Korea:
A) NOK could not directly admit failure and announce a supply agreement with QCOM
B) So they did what MOT did and hired Korean ODMs to design NOK phones based
on QCOM chipsets. This way, Nokia doesn't not buy directly from QCOM.
C) Neither Verizon or SPRINT will purchase NOK phones WITHOUT a QCOM
baseband. They won't spend the large amount of time and resources testing a NOK
phone based on NOK chipsets. Sprint lost 100,000 subscribers because of NOK's
inadequate phones.

Now, on the other hand. Having NOK phones on our networks is a definite positive.
Consumers like NOK and NOK phones on CDMA networks will mean CDMA
subscriber growth.

Once again, this article shows how very little Ed Snyder knows about the wireless (3G
and CDMA market). It amazes me that he gets paid to be wrong so much.

lol @ ykhalon

Yep, he said NOK will not have a deal that uses QCOM chips. 3 weekes later, NOK
announces a deal with Telson using QCOM chips.

QCOM is a sell at 65, MOT is a buy at $40 with an equivalent EPS to QCOM, but
lower growth rate. Today, Q is at 75 and MOT is at 23.

China will never go CDMA

Japan's DDI will not go CDMA

Korea's SKTelecom will switch all subs to WCDMA

MOT will come out with a GSM/CDMA/TDMA chipset in Spring 2000. Anyone seen
it?

I wonder if anyone in the wireless industry invests based on H&Q's analysis. They must
have clients with smaller portfolios than Ameritrade's $500 account base. lol

16 months and I'm still waiting for him to be right
