Thanks for the fly on the wall details Rich. I'm not in the business of believing false things as it's bad for my financial health, so it's good to get to the bottom of why things happen, and happened, and didn't happen, and might not happen. There are plenty of known unknowns, not to mention unknown unknowns. Known knowns seem to be in short supply.

Isn't the difficulty mostly in producing the ASICs rather than the phones? <Very few on this board realize how much more difficult CDMA is than TDMA and GSM. >

I thought QCOM's aim is to produce backward-compatible, pin-compatible, plug and play ASICs [give or take a bit].

I wonder why the infrastructure division employees were so put out if they were only meant to be starter motor employees, to be turned off or sold down the river once things were up and running.

In the reality-based world, trying to make it all make sense, and fit with facts I know to be true.
