So even if NOK/EMP/NEC gets a chipset out for sampling by end of this year. You still have the typical 9 months from then before commercial production of the chipset. That puts HSPDA out to 4th Qtr of 05. Isn't that a more realistic timeframe for Cingular.

I dont think that anybody has an HSDPA chipset sampling yet, but it is impossible to tell for sure with companies like Ericsson/Nokia. I believe that the only time that Ericsson has provided a chipset roadmap was 18 months ago....and I have never seen it updated.

They dont even mention an HSDPA capability for any of the chipsets on that roadmap.

I see a real opportunity for Qualcomm with HSDPA. The current list of customers for their W-CDMA chipsets is long but they need more tier-one manufacturers. I would think that handset manufacturers like Siemens and Panasonic must be realizing that their chance to gain market share with the move to W-CDMA is already slipping. HSDPA will give them another chance....if they can get handsets to the market ahead of the competition.
