I made those numbers up as I typed, but I went back and found the ASP from 1994, it was as high as $875 for the new do all pentium chip. Didn't last long....like 3-4 weeks. but those numbers were close. MSM is the Mobile Station Modem chip used in the phone. It is the heart of the phone. It has a cpu (was 80186...now going to ARM), a DSP processor which is homegrown and is much more power efficient and smaller than any on the market, and a complete CDMA digital processing engine for transmit and recive. Newer versions of the chip also include things like internal Audio codecs, more I/O controllers built in, a much more dense CDMa processing engine which improved the CDMA signal to noise (more rake recievers) and much lower power standby modes. The MSM3000 is the latest of these....5th generation.
