Unless you have personally observed something negative or false, assume it's untrue - for some reason, there are lots of people out to denigrate QUALCOMM.

I just heard another earful about all the "traps" and false leads that qualcomm put into their chip design to prevent others from developing CDMA chipsets. To hear it you would think reverse engineering was an entitled right and anybody doing this was guilty of skullduggery of the worst kind. The very thing I had always heard on this thread, "virtuousity and mastery of CDMA" which prevented others from successful CDMA chipset development suddenly became just a skill of covering your tracks.

It seems you would really have to be a chip designer to know which story is really accurate, and maybe it doesn't matter anyway. Anybody with experience in chip design or first hand knowledge of why Nokia chip designers feel this way about Qualcomm?
