>>Nokia's hegemony in GSM might have been diminished as they would have been forced to develop and maintain two different phone architectures, one based on TI chip and another one for QCOM.<< Of course it is now moot that Nokia should have chosen QCOM solely for its CDMA program from the beginning. They could have secured favored terms from QCOM for life, would have had a much bigger share in the higher price CDMA, and saved themselves a heck of a lot of money wasted over the years in the planning, R&D, and production of inferior equipment much of which would ultimately end up in the garbage.
