<People's Liberation Army claimed to have invented a "flavor" of CDMA that doesn't infringe on QCOM's patents. As for me, I am not an engineer, don't have any idea, I just take a hint from the relative strength of QCOM vs. MOT, NOK, and ERICY.>

I hear you...... and don't think the stock is particularily cheap, & not meaning to say there's "nothing wrong", clearly dropping CDMAONE is not good news. It's just that people have to realize that CDMA is here to stay. By the way, NOK & ERICY claimed to have a way around Q's patents too.... ERICY have up, and most of the engineers on the Q thread think NOK is full of it. MOT should have bought them when they could afford it! Another strange 'asleep at the wheel' story by MOT. Going to be interesting.

Before them ERICY and samsung said the same thing. In the last 10 years NOK or MOT have been unable to produce a decent CDMA chip for 1st generation IS95 I doubt highly that the chinese could circumvent QCOM's patents. It is just their way of negotiating a better deal with Qcom.
