Marvin ---For all the discussions from the thread over the past six months and the stock price headed south I regret to say that it is not vaporware . Companies normaly do make business decisions on something that does not exists . The real suprise to me ( I am long "Q" ) is that the company has not announced how they will transfer to W-CDMA and stay a viable part of the wireless business ( Patents run out )? I am not here for a bashing by people who are religious about "Q" but I would sure like to know where my money is headed in the future ? <br> BEST WISHES<br> BILL

Marvin, IMHO there is absolutely no basis for your statement that Q ASICs will be shut out of the WCDMA market and in fact the opposite if anything is true -- Q ASICs will dominate the WCDMA market. If Nokia cannot even make an IS-95A CDMA chip that works, how are they going to make a WCDMA chip that works? Did you read Andrew Viterbi's article that WCDMA is essentially exactly the same as CDMA except for insignificant details? Do you really believe Q will not have access to and/or be able to replicate those insignificant details? -- idler.
