I don't get it, Tero. You came up with a well written and agreeable post over in the Nokia thread about Brother Bill and WinCE and now you come over here and spew more crap.

Motorola announced during the Winter Consumer Electronics Show that they will have an 800mhz and a PCS cellphone to ship sometime in March or April. Models SC-725 and SC-925. These use what they call "6V" chips. Startac requires a "3V" chip. The Motorola person I spoke to said they don't think they will have the 3V chip working until next year.

Quite frankly, if they and Nokia would have used Qcom's ASCIS for the first generation or two, they would be on their third and fourth generation of phones like the Q is now. Instead, Qcom is working on its next couple of generations of ASICs and leaving everyone else further behind.

After all, Samsung demonstrated a rather nice PDA using Qcom's asics at CES. Other companies are rumored to follow. Why isn't there a CDMA version of the Nokia 9000, Tero?

Nokia has developed some wonderful technology. But, Qualcomm holds THE key to CDMA in any flavor. While Qualcomm has some political work cut out for them to solve the ETSI demands in a mutually beneficial manner, they are in the drivers seat.

Have a nice day, Tero.
