If you believe in NTT's rollout, it is Yozan, not NEC, that you look to for chipsets.

NTT has stated its relationship with Yozan in this regard.


I believe that NTT is working with Yozan....but I have seen nothing that states NEC is also working with them. I highly doubt that NTT cares who supplies the W-CDMA chipsets as long as they are rolled-out on time. FWIW....Yozan's roadmap is a month behind Qualcomm's. I believe that they are looking to sample in March with volume production by September. They are currently supplying some sort of mother board that emulates their chipset for handset vendors.

Here is some more info. on W-CDMA testing....

Testing began in earnest in September. In some cases, testing the radio access equipment will have to overlap with construction of the basestations themselves to compress the development times.

Since summer, Docomo's handset suppliers have started providing prototype systems. Three terminal types will be available when the service is launched: a basic terminal capable of voice, Web-browsing and linking to a PC; a data terminal that includes a PCMCIA card; and a video terminal with a camera.

The terminal manufacturers won't have much room for error; final testing for the terminals is slated for only one month before 3G services are launched.
