slacker, "A simple way to test how much the WCDMA/HSDPA patents are worth is to sell two versions."
Sure, but that would be expensive and complicated. Do you think uploading, OTA, of dvd quality videos, or a couple of 7 megapixel photos from your vacation, using HSUPA, will ever be a killer app? I would do it at home on a really fast internet connected PC, when I return.
Edit: My guess is that no more than one user in 100 million will do it OTA on a regular basis.
Downloading from the internet could be - e.g videos but is not yet. I wish we could monitor the usage and adjust the percentage a long the way. If no uploading - no 5% on 7 megapixel cameras or Carl Zeiss lenses.

I'm biased of course since I prefer surfing with a larger screen, on wifi, for free...
3G is not fast enough.
