Northforce: The Motorola, shoot itself in the foot company, is still at it. No one in his right mind would buy MOT phones with MOT WCDMA chips inside. A loser in the making. But what is most interesting is that MOT is still trying. Having given up on 1 x, MOT thinks it has a chance for WCDMA. We shall see. And beyond. What is fun is that the "World" is a GSM playground. Viva la GSM! But, it is without any new ability to compete in the world in which we now live - voice yes, data, ? But there is EDGE which is new. A revival. Wow. So, what happens in 2004? Or 2005? Will CDMA win or not? Time will tell. PS Thinking about China and India and the kind of phone sales these countries represent, it is hard to take seriously sales elsewhere. This is where Qualcomm has game, set, and match. Best. Chaz

"Seybold recently hinted that H3G was also using a Q chipped wcdma phone" On the back of the NEC phone it's a small label with "3G by Qualcomm" .So it's understandable if people think that there are things from QCOM inside.But I think it's just a patent thing.QCOM sure knows how to make enemies.QCOM tried to stop WCDMA alltogether and now they are forcing companies that don't have enough IPR:s to put a QCOM-label on the backside.I wonder how fat the chances are that NEC will ever buy anything from QCOM.If all companies would do the same then all electronics would just be covered by companylabels.
