The problem lies in the administration of collecting the first months service fee. I mean you buy the phone! Now how do you pay for your first months service?

Hadnt thought it through....you are right.

Expecially when we see sub $100 1X phones. Using the Voice Only 1X Asic!

Have they started shipping that yet?


Qualcomm has a bunch of different chipsets coming out over the next year.

The MSM5010 is a low-end 1x chipset with SMS capability. It started sampling in August. It's a little surprising that we havent heard about this chipset going into production yet....but I still think that handsets should be out sometime during the first half of the year.

The MSM6000 and MSM6050 are the first ZIF based chipsets. I think that their will probably be an announcement on sampling at the CTIA (end of Feb.)....and handsets coming out during the late summer/fall timeframe.
