Okay, a little nibble. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other tricks are complementary to CDMA networks. Networks give wide area coverage. The others are local. A CDMA device would have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi too. Maurice, a QCOM chipset that does WiFI too would be cool, but I think ISIL has a near-monopoly there. Actually, Wi-FI uses CDMA (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum though I am not sure if it uses any tricks which lead to any significant royalty to QCOM. See oreillynet.com It is however not a cellular technology though people are doing hacks to make roaming etc work. However, it may not be as good as cdma2000 but it may be "good enough" to be useful and especially with all the silly prices one hears for cellular data usage.
