Randall, regarding your statement >>” TT indicated that although multimode phones won't be a large percentage of QCOM's business…”

Not to be nit- picking- I believe Tony said>>> initially (2nd half of 2003)<<< multi-mode phones won’t be a large revenue contributor, but over time there should be “substantial” demand from carriers such as VOD, VZN, Unicom and Telstra and that Unicom is ‘Very anxious” for the dual-mode handset. Over time they should be a “significant contributor” to revenue as their incremental cost is not high.

Regarding prior Qualcomm chipset sales to Vodafone, I believe they only operate GSM networks and therefore would not have had phones with Qualcomm chipsets. ( Except for their joint ventures- JPhone in Japan and VZN wireless)

More on the Bloomberg link.
On the question of GSM 1x trial, TT wouldn't divlulge the "mystery" carrier although he did say it was a current GSM carrier who wasn't interested in going the WCDMA route. I found that a very interesting comment.

That was interesting. I heard it slightly differently. I heard him mentions that there were others besides the one trial and these were GSM carrier s that weren't committed to the WCDMA route. It would be interesting to make a list of who these might be. Who is most committed?

DoCoMo
ATT
T-Mobile
Hutchison
Most European Carriers

Who is less committed?
Vod?
Cingular?
China Mobile?
Others?
