Where is W CDMA? Remember Where is the Beef ads? If Nokia cannot make regular CDMA chips right after 5 years, how are they going to make W CDMA, which is lot more complex? Lot of talk but no W CDMA chips. My prediction: CDMA 2000 will roll fine, it will be adopted in USA, American Continent, Japan, Korea. Other Asian countries will see successful roll out of CDMA 2000 and will opt for it. W CDMA is an un tried, un tested, un proven mirage. And if W CDMA does become reality, who else better suited than Qualcomm to make it? If Vodaphone was to start putting CDMA 2000 in Europe, once it sees successful launch by Verizon in USA, W CDMA might never see commercial deployment. Scary scenerio for Ed Snyder, but more likely one !!
