"BREW enables consumers to upgrade all software features of a phone without buying a new handset, which of course, has not been the case to date. Interesting dilemma, of course, but not something that concern me at this point as a QCOM investor. "

Where did you see this? Thanks

OTA software upgrade can use many different transportation mechanisms including BREW. However there needs to be more work done. If BREW already has a back office solution and all we need is a solution in thehandsets, that is a huge win. That would be very tempting for Sprint and other non BREW users. This would make tons of money for the carriers.
