Classic FUD. There is no way they are engineering arround CDMA, what they might have is a 1xrt upgrade which is a positive for Qcom. I would assume that they are so far ahead that they still buy chips for their most advanced phones from Q? I will believe it when I see it. I am not holding my breath.

"Qualcomm devised and owns the CDMA standard," McAteer said. "(Now) Qualcomm is seeking to transition CDMA carriers to the next version of this standard, Wideband CDMA, and maintain control over the standard to ensure it continues to receive its royalty payments."

It's difficult to take this article seriously with statements like the above. Even Snyder wouldn't say something that stupid. What's it take to become an analyst these days?

Re: Motorola's "1XPlus"

Analyst McAteer said that the standard would not find a lot of equipment to operate in immediately. "You would have to aggregate a lot of CDMA channels," he said. "You're not going to get five megabits per second on a single device anytime soon."

So what does this mean? HDR provides 2.4 megabits/sec on 1.25Mz of channel. Is McAteer saying more than 1.25Mz is required for 1Xplus's 5 megabits/sec? IMO, speed per unit of bandwidth is what needs to be looked at.

Jazz, I am also searching for more clarification on this. Since Motorola would not confirm that this would not end royalty payments to Qcom, it might just be that this is indeed an "upgrade" on 1XRTT. Could this be the case? And why this sudden turn of events 2 weeks after IJ mentioned in the Analyst meeting that Motorola is now Qcom's biggest Asics customer?
It would be interesting to see an in depth discussion of this issue.

rgds,

Ma.
