KX: Does the QCP 6035 SmartPhone or the Handspring's VisorPhone have the QCOM's chip sets in these devices at all? If not, QCOM's future is doomed. First, the Kyocera PDA/phone combo is a CDMA phone and uses a Qualcom chipset. It will be sold by Verizon and Sprint in the US and works on their CDMA/analog networks. Palm and Motorola are working to produce a GSM combo phone, supposedly for 2002 sale. The Handspring Visorphone clip-on module is a GSM based phone, and works (in the US) on Voicestream, Cingular and Powertel networks. Handspring doesn't yet (as far as I know) offer a CDMA clip-on module, but I'd expect them too pretty soon. Likewise, you can hook your existing Palm PDA to many cell phones - GSM, TDMA or CDMA - using a $40 connectivity kit and a cable. But why do you think "QCOM's future is doomed" by any of these developments? David T.
