re. 'if it doesn't have a 3G chip in it (i.e. CDMA/EV-DO or W-cdma/HSDPA its not 3G" ... It may be that not all of QCOM's patents involve hardware.

Q8tfreebe - I was quoting this paragraph: and obviously I meant "firmware" upgrade

I think so. The question here is whether 3G is already built into the iPhones shipping now or whether it will require a new model? Given that it is coming so soon after the iPhone introduction, I can't believe that even Steve would make us buy new phones. It is very likely that a firmware upgrade will awaken the 3G within all you iPhone owners
