rumors that NOK is sampling QCOM MSM chips are flying around

Nokia says it, too, is on pace for delivery of advanced phones. Larry Paulson, Nokia's vice president for CDMA global

using the network technology to expand capacity. 1XRTT terminals offering advanced data capabilities will come along about
six months later, with GPRS terminals also available next year, Nokia says.


This is literally the first time that I have ever read Nokia even acknowledge the existence of 1xrtt.....
