The improved outlook is due to greater than expected WCDMA royalties, faster migration to 6000 series MSMs and stronger orders for CSM products.

Just about the best reasons that I can think of for guiding higher...

We estimate the calendar 2005 CDMA phone market to be in the range of 195-215 million units, compared to our calendar 2004 estimate of 152-160 million units, a year-over-year growth of 31 percent based upon the midpoint of our estimates. Using the midpoint of 205 million, we expect approximately 160 million CDMA2000® and 45 million WCDMA unit shipments in calendar 2005, 15 percent and 165 percent growth respectively over our midpoint estimates for 2004.

I always like getting information, but I wonder why they are changing their normal timing for guidance? This has to be a pretty conservative target or it makes zero sense to give guidance when you dont have much direct visibility into '05.
