Will the LSI's of the world automatically get QCOM's new chip designs with HDR or do they have to re-license for each new generation? John

But the Networks are not that sophisticated in determining if a given 'phone is 'efficient'. Field trials are geared to ensuring that a manufacturers 'phone is useable in a reliable manner. i.e - the 'good enough' standard prevails. Can you elaborate on this. I am under the impression that this may have been the case (good enough is good enough) before networks near capacity but that the field tests will give a relative rating to each phone in respect to spectrum efficiency or whatever you want to call it and that this rating will become increasingly important to carriers going forward.

Forgot this.. But the Networks are not that sophisticated in determining if a given 'phone is 'efficient'. Field trials are geared to ensuring that a manufacturers 'phone is useable in a reliable manner. i.e - the 'good enough' standard prevails. It was my understanding from past discussions with Explorer that it was well known exactly which kinds of problems the Nokia and MOT chipsets/software had, and what their effects on the network were/are... Have to agree with you however....."good enough" was all it took for those Sprint contracts, even though it really does apprear that Nokia's not out of the woods yet...
