Good for QCOM - w/o doubt by: The_Rich_Janitor 10/20/00 5:52 pm Msg: 288141 of 288173 This is why NOK started using design houses in Korea: A) NOK could not directly admit failure and announce a supply agreement with QCOM B) So they did what MOT did and hired Korean ODMs to design NOK phones based on QCOM chipsets. This way, Nokia doesn't not buy directly from QCOM. C) Neither Verizon or SPRINT will purchase NOK phones WITHOUT a QCOM baseband. They won't spend the large amount of time and resources testing a NOK phone based on NOK chipsets. Sprint lost 100,000 subscribers because of NOK's inadequate phones. Now, on the other hand. Having NOK phones on our networks is a definite positive. Consumers like NOK and NOK phones on CDMA networks will mean CDMA subscriber growth. Once again, this article shows how very little Ed Snyder knows about the wireless (3G and CDMA market). It amazes me that he gets paid to be wrong so much. Re: Now after Snyder said by: The_Rich_Janitor 10/20/00 6:08 pm Msg: 288150 of 288175 lol @ ykhalon Yep, he said NOK will not have a deal that uses QCOM chips. 3 weekes later, NOK announces a deal with Telson using QCOM chips. QCOM is a sell at 65, MOT is a buy at $40 with an equivalent EPS to QCOM, but lower growth rate. Today, Q is at 75 and MOT is at 23. China will never go CDMA Japan's DDI will not go CDMA Korea's SKTelecom will switch all subs to WCDMA MOT will come out with a GSM/CDMA/TDMA chipset in Spring 2000. Anyone seen it? I wonder if anyone in the wireless industry invests based on H&Q's analysis. They must have clients with smaller portfolios than Ameritrade's $500 account base. lol 16 months and I'm still waiting for him to be right

Photos of the QCP 2035 are at gullfoss2.fcc.gov The MSM is easy to spot but hard to read the label. It is a ball grid array, no pins out the sides. According to the QCOM CDMA handbook, the MSM3000 is available in a 176 pin TQFP (flat pack with pins out the sides) as well as a 196-ball PBGA (no pins out the sides). The newer MSMs seem to be available in PBGA only. snip (Pin-compatible with the MSM3000, the MSM5000 will be available in the same 176-ball Fine Pitched Grid Array (FBGA) package and 196-ball Plastic Ball grid Array (PBGA) production package. ) snip from qualcomm.com After looking at a number of photos of Nokia Phones and QCP Phones, it seems that the construction of Nokia phones is much simpler. Few, if any RF shields, lots of small circuit packages. They may be much cheaper to build. When searching the FCC site, use GML for Nokia, J9C for Qualcomm and OVF for Kyocera for the grantee code in the Office of Engineering and Technology Generic Search Form.
