KDDI To Roll Out Ultrathin Mobile Phone

TOKYO (Nikkei)--DDI Corp. (9433), commonly known as KDDI, announced Wednesday that it will begin sales in late December of the C405SA, a cdmaOne mobile phone handset that it bills as the thinnest available to date.

The phone measures a mere 9.9mm thick, smaller even than NTT DoCoMo Inc.'s (9437) P208, which previously held the record at 14mm. Its ultrathin profile and 62 gram weight makes the C405SA comfortable to tote in a shirt pocket, KDDI says.

The phone sports a high-resolution monochrome display with four adjustable font sizes and supports KDDI's EZweb@mail e-mail service. It has a continuous talk time of roughly 130 minutes. Sanyo Electric Co. (6764) will manufacture the units, which KDDI will sell for 47,900 yen.

I have the following questions about Nokia's CDMA chip efforts and TI's recent license deal with QCOM and its roll as a major chip supplier to NOK.

>How will TI's CDMA efforts dovetail with what NOK is doing?
>Will TI's efforts be confined to wCDMA and NOK's to CDMA? >Will TI try to produce a 1X chip and if so, how will this relate to NOK's chip efforts?
>In what way (if any) are the answers to these questions impactful to QCOM?
