About time you said it right. CDMA is the engine of the car, better?

Rajala: Quit while you still have some credibility. At least you know how to type even if you are deficient in the English language. It is obvious that you do not know what you are talking about. If you care to remain in the arena, be aware that the real QCOM lions and tigers have made mincemeat of your like-minded predecessors. My advice to you is to escape with your head even though you are wearing it backwards.

Rajala Opinions to the contrary are welcome. I just hope the GSM camp embraces your ideas for the sake of CDMA2000

Quite simply, your camp has two huge problems. First, w-cdma may well be vaporware. Amidst the doom and gloom lately, it seems that Ericy, Nok, and word out of China is starting the orchestrated process of lowering expectations on W-cdma and its ability/capacity. Somewhat off topic, we also recently hear that T is concerned about EDGE and it is AWE's management that is steadfast. However, if W-cdma comes to market, your second biggest problem is that it is very likely that qcom will in fact get royalties in every instance and furthermore, may make the best chip. There is considerable evidence that w-cdma will not, cannot work without qcom's ipr, and Ericy has signed a definitive agreement. Mot has signed a similar agreement. <p><br> We have flat out had at least as much good as bad news the last 3 months. No question. I think behind much of the stock action is simple disappointment that the party stopped, and the lack of awareness that we have gotten ourselves involved in the biggest financial game of bluff ever played in the history of mankind. There are billions and billions at stake so the players will do whatever it takes. <p><br> With Qcom at 60, and a pe of about 50, it is so foolish to be negative. Long term holders really need to shut there damn pc's off and stop watching. This will be a great investment over time. Bears are being silly. This was a great short over 150, not now.

>>>CDMA is an old technology invented before Q was around. Q has been developing the technology and has several patents on different parts of the various applications of it.<<< I knew Heddy Lamar, and you are no Heddy Lamar.

Rajala, thanks for your comment because I always like to hear both sides of the story. I notice you said: CDMA is an old technology invented before Q was around. This confuses me because I thought the head of QCOM invented the process while a professor. He then founded QCOM and wrote a zillion patents, the story goes, to cover the concept thoroughly enough so that anyone wanting to use CDMA would have to go through QCOM. From what you say, CDMA was already around in use. Could you give me 4 or 5 urls to documents showing how widely used CDMA was before the early 1990s when the patents were done on CDMA by QCOM? Thanks for your links because this should make things much clearer to me.
