Malcolm,

It's good to see you.

The results, if we can trust this magazine, look devastating to QCOM in my eyes.

I was impressed enough with StockHawk's post that I sent it to my friend who is currently in the market for her first cell phone. (She is not as good at putting off becoming a slave to a cell phone as I am. :) However, I sent it with the caveat that the information is far too general to be taken as gospel truth. Instead, I suggested that she add it to the information she is getting from other people before making a decision about who to sign up with.

Surely the superiority of CDMA has been the most discussed topic on this board. Did we somehow fail to get at the truth?

The information in that post fails to address so many aspects of functionality that we can't use it as a gauge about CDMA's superiority. The information isn't conclusive about the only part that it does address -- voice quality -- because it's not specific enough. It doesn't address the issue of dropped calls, a primary concern for consumers. It doesn't address spectrum efficiency, a major economic concern for carriers. And most important for me, it doesn't address anything about data that we can hang our hat on, the primary fundamental that makes Qualcomm appealing to most investors.
