ElM, you are confusing W-CDMA and CDMA2000 with CDMA. CDMA is the all-inclusive term, though some use it to mean just CDMA2000. W-CDMA, which is also called UMTS, 3GSM, 3G, HSPA is also run on CDMA waveforms. It's an acronym soup out but all use Qualcomm's technology and pay me a royalty and many of them use Qualcomm ASICs too. Perhaps the "CDMA" reference was to the IS-95 version or something. Meanwhile, Nokia is losing cyberphone market share to Apple and others. Since Nokia pays less royalty to Qualcomm than others do, the more market share Nokia loses, the better I like it. Go Apple, Go!! High margins are great for royalties, especially when the full royalty is paid instead of Nokia's discounted amount. Mqurice
