Weekend speculation and wishful thinking: Wouldn't it be just, if QCOM announced the sale of its handset business to Nokia on Monday in order to steal the thunder from ATT's analyst meeting and to send T a message? I wonder what kinds of questions the analysts would be asking T then? I'm really expecting QCOM to do something like this. As I recall about the infrastructure sale, the number of doubters grew as time went on (sort of like what is happening here) until one day the Q announced the sale to ERICY. The noise of all of those doubters rushing to buy Q stock broke the sound barrier. From day one with QCOM, I have never been disappointed in their management's decisions. Remember all of the complaining on this thread when QCOM issued another billion dollars worth of stock just prior to being added to the S&P 500? Many were upset that QCOM was ruining the potential price jump afforded by the S&P 500 addition. I guess time proved management right on that one too. All in the fullness of time.

Surfer Mike: The QCP-1960 is characterized as "barely Web-worthy". His review centered on WWeb access. Manes writes, "Qualcomm's $100 QCP-1960 doesn't have a headphone jack, and it doesn't roam on analog systems (although a slightly more expensive model can). Its screen is nearly as big as the Touchpoint's, but its big blocky characters put it dead last in the information per screen ratio. The screen and interface design would doom it for Web access even if it did a great job making Web connections, but this model had trouble linking up even when the phones right beside it worked fine." He picks the Neopoint NP 1000 as the most promising.
