Q 3G Concept Phone Described. JohnG GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, 1999 OCT 11 (NB) -- By Sylvia Dennis, Newsbytes. Qualcomm [NASDAQ:QCOM], well known as a prime mover on third generation (3G) cellular, has taken the wraps off a concept 3G phone designed for use on CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) networks. Showing the phone over the weekend at the Telecom '99 event in Geneva, Qualcomm officials said that the concept handset is actually a prototype that the firm is working on. The phone incorporates 3G features such as videoconferencing and Web browsing. These functions, Qualcomm says, are dependent on the 3G network supporting HDR (High Data Rate) transmissions. Qualcomm says that 3G phones will incorporate features such as a color LCD display and a touch panel control, as well as a pop-out easel back for desktop conference calls and video display and a retractable keypad cover to protect the screen. The phone also includes voice command of all major functions. Qualcomm's prototype QCP 3G handset is extremely light and comes in a magnesium case with leather trim. The phone has a very small palmprint and is just 2.5 centimeters thick. Qualcomm's Web site is at qualcomm.com . Reported by Newsbytes.com, newsbytes.com .
