I would gladly give up any potential GPRS/EDGE royalties, which would be going down substantially in the future, in exchange for a global WCDMA settlement.

Perhaps QCOM can horse trade their GSM/GPRS/EDGE patents for Nokia's patents.

Taken from QCOM's London Investors Day 11/13/06 slide presentation.

Even in the unlikely event that Nokia were to obtain as much as a 5% royalty on QUALCOMM's CDMA2000 chipset revenue, QUALCOMM would only need to obtain a 0.5% royalty on Nokia's GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset revenue to break even.*

*based on QCOM's estimates of revelant Nokia and QCOM revenue over the next 4 years.
