Interesting that the 6200 designed for Europe has all manner of GSM /WCDMA stuff but no CDMA2000 stuff. I wonder if even though the 6300 is the same price, whether European service providers buy the 6200 to prevent CDMA2000 roaming. I suppose the same could be said of Sprint and Verizon though - would they buy the 6300 or the 6200 ? Or offer consumers a choice?

<In addition, only one external ultra high frequency (UHF) single-band VCO is required for all CDMA frequency bands worldwide.> What does this mean? Qualcomm needs to develop a ASIC that handles GSM, 1x, and WCDMA yet costs the same as a ASIC that supports just 1x. Is that what the statement above is saying? If that's possible, it's over. It wouldn't matter which technology the carriers use and theoretically, 1x carriers should have the advantage. If qualcomm's claims that 1xev-do is really cheaper per meg and is more efficient with voice. If the all-in-one ASICs cost more, then that may be a different story.
