>>...consumers will think that W-CDMA handsets are only six months away.<<

MSM 6200 handsets could appear by June. At least that's not completely implausible - Q sampled the chip LAST June.

With Q inside, maybe the buggy-standard has a chance of working at some level of performance, say at a 1X level or thereabouts. Euro carriers would suck it up.

If it happens, the Koreans would get a big jump on the GSM cabal and could steal the handset show in Asia AND Europe, while Q dominates the WCDMA chip business!!

And Dr J's '04 timetable for meaningful WCDMA handset sales could prove to be spot on. But only for Q-powered handsets!!

Oh irony, sweet irony.
