laodeng,

<< Isn't the purpose of this new chip is for carrier to have the capacity benefit of 1x, at the same time, to offer a very cheap phone for people who only wants voice? >>

It would seem so.

Voice and two-way SMS is all a lot of people are going to need and want for quite awhile.

I think a low cost entry level chip with capacity increase (carrier benefit) is a great supplement to the QUALCOMM chipset lineup.
