To me, and it should to you, mean that there is no market out there that Q is not participating in. Q has been shut out of the so called GSM market for ever. Now those days are gone. Of course you also have to consider the generous usage of the term GSM. (ggg) I don't understand many of you. The bottom line is all we should care about is continued growth in Revenue and Earnings. How we get there is not near as important as getting there. As long as it is increasing earnings, it is all good. "What does it mean to have a snapdragon 8650 chip but be listed as a GSM phone?"
