it is equally true that Qualcomm will never be able to sell a WCDMA chipset without Nokia's IPR

If this is true, then QCOM should not be in litigation but should be looking at cross licensing arrangements. QCOM already has a cross licensing arrangement with TI, however, and it is not clear to me whether this arrangement gives QCOM the right to sell a chip that uses GSM/WCDMA IPR, independent of Nokia's IPR.
