Qualcomm IR response regarding China Royalty: >WSJ says that it is clear that China royalty rates have been set at 2.65%. >Given Qualcomm's policy of non disclosure how could WSJ state the royalty >rate with such certainty? Do your agreements require non disclosure by the >other party? If yes, what are the remedies available to Qualcomm for >disclosure? You are correct that we have never commented on specific royalty rates because they are confidential and are protected by NDA by both parties. This is not the first story to surface quoting a rate, nor will it be the last I suspect. Reporters can print whatever they'd like and I'm sure they have sources that provided information, although not necessarily accurate information. Our licensees are highly credible companies that respect their agreements and are not generally interested in sharing their own confidential information. That doesn't prevent speculation from other parties, unfortunately.Best Regards,Julie Cunningham Sr. Vice President, Investor RelationsAt 06:34 PM 10/20/2000 -0400, you wrote:

The current version uses Nokia's chip. However, we are working with Telson of South Korea on a Nokia model that will debut in early 2001, as announced by Nokia a few months ago. Why is Nokia contracting Telson to manufacture phones with Q chips if they are now successful at manufacturing Nokia cdma phones with their own chips? I don't get it. Also, I am going to purchase my first phone (since a five pound mot 10 years ago) and visited Verizon today. The NOK phone (with NOK chip according to the rep) is free after rebate but has no WWW access. The Q/KYO 2160 is about $30 and the Audiovox is about $90. The Audiovox offers vibration and a bigger screen for the extra dough. Seems like the KYO is the best choice - thoughts anyone? Is there any other better phone out there but just not handled by this Verizon office? Any reason to visit Sprint? The rep said the NOK has been selling the best since it's free and they have been advertising it heavily. He said he hasn't heard of any problems with it yet like the last couple times they tried selling NOK but it's only been out for 7 to 10 days. Also said he hasn't heard anything about a new faster service to be available in the future. Rory
