Looks like March 2007

380 million total "CDMA" is quite a lot of sales. <in a year when mobile device unit sell-in is likely to approach 1.2 billion units, > That's 32%. That's quite a good proportion. QCOM enjoys nearly all the sales of CDMA2000 ASICs and a rapidly increasing share of W-CDMA/aka 3GSM ASIC sales. Not to mention royalties on both types.

<In what month will the W-CDMA chipset sales of all the others equal the share by QUALCOMM?>

The trend is in the right direction.

Also, do you think that the profit on a high-end cyberphone is greater than a low end GSM phone sold by the umpty million in China and India?

It's a trick question!

Since every 3GSM UMTS handset has CDMA in it (WCDMA as GSM'ers like to call it), 3GSM handsets will never outsell CDMA handsets, (since they are a subset of CDMA).
