To DaveMG: Your understanding re lack of TXN license from the Q to produce CDMA ASIC chips is mine also. The question then becomes, what is the practical need for DSPs as well as ASICs in mobile phones? If TXN is listed by the CDMAOne group as a phone component supplier, could it be for DSPs or other widgets used in conjunction with ASICs from the Q? As a tech non wiz, I am curious.

What is clear is that the innards of Ericy and Nokia GSM and TDMA phones are heavily stocked with Texas Instruments produced components - primarily DSPs I presume.

This is a sort of mystery within an enigma, no? (At least until we find out from the technology wiz's among us.) Clark, what sayest thou? Others? Chaz
