True, if its under 480 I'll sell another put tomorrow and buy another 100 shares before I get on the road to the snow and relatives. Merry Christmas to everyone! Freeus

I'm wondering why a price for the division was not included in the initial news of the KYO deal. jmanvegas

From 2nd Conference Call, (now playing) corporate-ir.net KYO previously acquired chips from another supplier. Royalty arrangement with KYO remains unchanged. Comfortable with current estimates of 95½ A $30M one-time charge this Q for sale associated expenses. ***** Island: 183

Diamond, It saddens me to see some folks - not sure the word is "insecure" or "ignorant' or both - were looking for a glamorous international brand name as Qs handset partner to boast their own confidence. Why don't they just sell their Q shares and move back to DELL or wherever they came from. Ibexx PS: "K" is an excellent strategic choice, and I endorse this decision wholeheartedly.

Q & A concall on now, said they were "comfortable" with current .95 estimates for 4th quarter. Deal will be immediately accretive upon close for 2 reasons: 1) Will be selling chips to third party and not internal division 2) Dumping of money losing business In the past "comfortable" has meant they will beat the estimate by a decent amount. Qualcomm handset brand can be used on existing phones, but whether newer phones will carry the "Qualcomm" brand is up to KYO - not decided yet. IJ on Nokia - did continue discussions with a handful of companies right to the end. Best deal all around was KYO to advance CDMA and for employees. Still hope for "positive" relationship on ASIC chips with Nokia.
