QCOM has nothing to fix. Go out and buy a Sanyo 4500. Quite simply, it's the best cell phone made to date. Setting up my email ASAP. The Samsung and Motorola phones are pretty cool too. Not a single phone by the illustrious Nokians. I think it is strange that every company that has orders QCOM ASIC's does not have the same problems as Nokia. Oh, that's right - they use an internally developed chip. They have never been helped by QCOM if they don't use their chips. BTW, the companies that made CDMA 2G a success were QCOM, LU, NT, MOT, PHCM, PCS, and VZ. I think that Samsung deserves a special mention too. The Japanese and Korean companies have done a superb job in the CDMA market. Europe intentionally left the 2G market up for grabs since they didn't have the infrastructure or handsets to compete. Now, they think they are going to dominate 3G CDMA without the presence of any 2G CDMA products. Seems a little fishy...

Nokia isn't selling cdma phones in bunches because they refused to admit they couldn't make a chip that worked. They could have sold phones and gained market share in the mean time using q chips, but didn't, hence they are are very minor cdma player. Caxton
