Limtex- With all due respect if there was the slightest chance of your scenario occurring Qualcomm's share would already be down substantially.

Limmer, worst case scenario, they are forced to buy Broadcom.

It appears that an overreaction is now on this message board. Bring Q to its knees? Give me a break. Massive stock damage? The sky is not falling, nor is the world coming to an end. Limtex, back away from the computer for a while. You are slipping towards "irrational". Old slow Jim

>>if BRCM succeeds in getting the chip and handsets prevented from being imported it will bring Qs business to its knees. That is of course BRCMs purpose and so far, they seem to be winning on all fronts. The damage to the stock price would be massive.<< Lim, you're panicking like you did a few months ago when you were posting evey few minutes that the stock was never going to stop falling. Any hit to our price will be short term. Any decision to ban QCOM chipped handsets will be a strong precedent in the fight against Nokia. The workaround is a strategic card that may not be shown yet. Maybe we have it maybe we don't. Maybe we have something that will work, but not as good. Maybe QCOM is close to having a better energy conservation system than anyone and its patent will bring hundreds of millions. QCOM should not panic and begin massive efforts to reprogram/replace all chips until QCOM knows if this is even necessary. If necessary then lets collect that precedent ammo for the much much bigger fight with Nokia. One good thing about the fiasco is that the lawyers have now had a good moot court to prevent these kinds of mistakes in the big fight with Nokia. It makes me wonder if Nokia is rooting for the injunction or hoping that precedent is not set.
