Tom,

<< Cingular R&D department was dragged kicking and screaming to this ridiculous upgrade path? >>

Let me put it this way.

About 3 Qualcomm CC's back when Dr. J was queried about where if anywhere Qualcomm was trialing cdma overlays of IS-136 networks or who Qualcomm was targeting for same, Dr J. cited Cingular as (still) a potential prospect.

Scratch that one.

<< ridiculous upgrade path? >>

Ridiculous? Cingular needed yet a 4th technology like they needed a hole in the head, and without any equivalent to a GAIT handset remotely in sight, Qualcomm was selling out of an empty briefcase.
