What about Reliance's ramp?

I believe that the ASIC's will be shipped this quarter. Hard to believe that they can hit 26 million chipsets without a large scale ramp in India (even then, I have trouble understanding the number).

What about PCS and Verizon ramps?

Most of this has already happened....and it will definitely be done by the end of this quarter. Besides most of this "ramp" is really just substituting 1x chipsets for IS-95A chipsets. Qualcomm needs 1x to drive incremental subscriber growth and marketshare gains for it to be really meaningful to the bottom line. So far, 1x hasnt managed to really grab a hold of the consumer's attention (in the US).
