I find it so tiring this QCOM vs NOK argument. QCOm will
get the IPR it deserves and Nokia will make phones.
The last time I looked QCOM made 1 million phones in a
year (before they sold that part of their business).
Nokia makes over 1.0 million phones in one week.
I think Qcom has sold a couple million cu
hips to Samsung, Telson etc, Nokia has sold....0 chips externally

One makes phones, the other makes chips.

Perhaps a better topic would be

NOK vs Motorola (these guys actually worry me, they have
gone thru a shakeup and are turning it around)

QCOM vs Texas Instruments (TI is starting to get involved
here, these people have to be watched they are the best at what they do and could force Qcom into a pure IP house)

regards

ed

Price and Green invented the first rake receiver in 1958. ATT invented the first handoff technology in 1972. Qualcomm has proprietary versions of the rake receiver, the soft hand-off and power control for narrowband CDMA which uses a 1.25 MHz spread, but WCDMA is essentially a hybrid TDMA/CDMA network utilizing wider spreads (5/10/15/20 MHz). That requires more sophisticated versions of the rake receiver, the soft hand-off and power control.
