The Samsung 3500 is a huge hit for Sprint PCS, because it has great features, is small, and performs well with the Q ASIC within. Following up on my previous post, guess the name of the company that Paul Jacobs says best uses what Qualcomm has to offer? That's right - Samsung. They operate in a real partnership with Qualcomm. Samsung's success in this instance is no accident.

Well stated, Valueman. Also, Re: (The Samsung 3500 is a huge hit for Sprint PCS, because it has great features, is small, and performs well with the Q ASIC within.) It is also known that Samsung has a very close relationship with Qualcomm, working together on secret R&D projects, developing and testing amazing things. Add to that the fact the IJ stated he would even be willing to let the buyer of the handset division use the Qualcomm name, under the right conditions. This would make Samsung seem like a strong contender, too. I wonder what kind of value Samsung would put on using the Q name, in addition to the positioning in the marketplace, and distribution channels. If they are more keen on building the Samsung brand name, which it would seem they would be, then they would not put so much value on the Q name--only on the distribution channels(IMHO)--any thoughts? Also, there has been rumor that a chip company or two, as well as a Taiwanese PCB manufacturer trying to get into the handset business, have all shown keen interest. Personally, I kind of hope that a major deal with Nokia is reached. Best regards, Jeff
