From PaineWebber report> 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.<i/>
