From the PaineWebber report today.... Message 12409715 NOKIA, MOT AND ERICSSON TO BUY QCOM ASIC?S We believe the catalyst to incite Nokia and Motorola to use Qualcomm chips will be the rollout of 2.5G (1XRTT) wireless data services over the next year. Sprint PCS (PCS-$104.38), a stock we cover, has told us they want all new phones sold to have the latest wireless data technology, even if that customer does not activate those services when buying the phone. Sprint PCS, practicing what they preach, recently lowered its order of Nokia phones because of Nokia?s inability to deliver a working web-browser. Rather than develop their own 2.5G capable chips and risk being late to market again, we believe Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson will buy Qualcomm chips. Slacker

Good for you, labrador - have a wealthy 2000. But the problem with this and many other boards is that many US telecom investors insist on focusing on CDMA. It's not like I can shift the focus on the new Middle East/Eastern Europe GSM licenses or Chinese handset price war or GPRS no matter what I do. Even though those are some of the key issues for year 2000. Yanks would rather discuss whether Nokia will buy their chipsets from you-know-whom in 2008. As if you-know-what was having a key role in current W-CDMA development. So I'm not responsible for the dysfunctionality of the thread, OK? I'm more like a victim of passive-aggressive monomania of control freaks wanting to shift the debate you-know-where. There was a segment on these kind of situational dynamics on "Oprah" the other day. Tero
