From the BRDM QCOM legal proceedings

Naked,
Thanks for posting the brief...very interesting reading. I found the following excerpt on page 51 interesting:

"Thus, although Broadcom has touted since the beginning of this investigation that it is poised to begin supplying baseband processing chips for handsets operating on WCDMA networks in the U.S., the plain fact is that Broadcom has not yet garnered even a single design win for a U.S. WCDMA handset. Of the remaining [14] GSM chip manufacturers, none are positioned to supply the WCDMA handset manufacturers with the required baseband chips. For example, Qualcomm understands that Texas Instruments does not yet have a candidate chip design reduced to silicon, and it has no design wins for any WCDMA handset for use in the U.S. Nokia has a proprietary chip design for use solely in its own phones that is fabricated for it by Texas Instruments, but that handset is not yet available for us on a WCDMA network in the U.S."
