Eric, re "They already have entered license agreements with Qualcomm for WCDMA and HSDPA is simply an extension of what they are already licensed for, and Qualcomm had nothing whatsoever to do with the development of that extension, regardless of how that shakes anyones faith."

But HSDPA could still be using some HDR technology patented by Qualcomm. With Qualcomm's "license one -- license all" policy, we might never know, until all prior patents expire.

So the bottom line is that Q will still collect a royalty on HSPDA handsets due to the wcdma part.
