Re: (Converged W-CDMA/CDMA-2000) vs (W-CDMA that is backwards compatible with IS-95)

This isn't really a technical question, but I would say it is all but certain that there are many more ways to make W-CDMA backwards compatible with IS-95 than there are to merge W-CDMA and CDMA-2000 and maintain backwards compatibility.

(The key is the word 'and'. Qualcomm would almost certainly not accept a merger of CDMA-2000 and W-CDMA that was not backwards compatible. Too many of its valued customers would be left out in the cold, and it would lose too much business waiting for W-CDMA to come out.)
