Slacker, Re: Sources inside Qualcomm told the San Diego Union-Tribune that Nokia would purchase the research-and-development portion of Qualcomm's phone division, while Kyocera would own the manufacturing side. I'm probably paranoid, but selling the r&d portion makes me nervous. I expected Q to retain that piece, as I believe they did in the infrastructure deal with ERICY. If this were to occur, it's not too clear to me how Q stays in the longer term handset chip design game. Unless this can be picked up by the remaining infrastructure r&d group? Am I looking at this the wrong way? TIA, jack
