"Digital by QCOM just means CDMA 3G by QCOM means a CDMA2000 standard, though it may not support packet data." This is not consistently applied. My Samsung A500 from sprint has the "Digital by QCOM" sticker, and, as you say, it, along with the N400, are certainly CDMA2000 products. But that's really splitting hairs as far as the consumer is concerned. What matters is the services that the "3G" technology enables, compared with 2G. So far, the main differentiator seems to be that it takes 5 seconds to download a midi ringtone, where it used to take 20s.
