I wouldn't worry about PrairieComm. They have never made any meaningful dent in the CDMA market (or the GSM market for that matter). Further, the supposed dual mode chip won't even be available for sampling, if ever, until the second quarter. This is vaporware...

Dennis: Late? Perhaps. But PraireCom has just "announced". If I remember correctly, the Q has a "number" set for a GSM/CDMA chipset. Dr J has discussed this. It is just that with the Q (and unlike MOT and/or Nokia), the Q "announces" when practical production is feasible and tests completed - after the proper licenses - and when there seems to be a reasonable expectation that the standards hurdles can be overcome near term. Q's management has made clear its intent. It is being careful as to how (and perhaps with whom) it launches a chipset which can be employed commercially in the near term. The Q's style is not vaporware. May that continue ! Best. Chaz
