Yes. Nothing in the MSM precludes it from working at any of these frequnecies. That all depends on the radio deisgn and the center frequency that you make it work at. Also on the Telson deal, even if they have MSM3100 chips in there, it is a simple process to replace the chipset with the 5000 or 5500 set and when you do, you can operate the MSM in the older 3100 mode until such time as you update teh software, so you can imagine that NOK could just replace the chipset and start shipping non 1x phones today and then in a month or two when they have the newer software stack working, ship the 1x phones with new software as well as offer an upgrade path for phones in the field. this gets them fulfilling hte already released contracts wiht carriers with IS-95 and allows them a very fast non-hardware retrofit at a alter date to 1x.
