Study Ericy's own website a little more closely. Or, save yourself some time and take a look at a couple of responses from the CDG web site:
cdg.org
cdg.org

The legal action pending between Ericy and Qcom will investigate Ericy's tactics in detail. Everything related to this discussion is still on the web.

"whining" Uhm... Okay.

There are quite a few QCOM patents that make IS95 CDMA work reliably in the real world. Since IS95 has reached the far side of the learning curve, Ericy can only hope that WCDMA works just as well.
With todays capacity problems in Europe, "not-invented-here" may not matter if Qcom's Vodaphone project gives them the marketing upper-hand by keeping subscribers happy with reliable call completion. Does anything else really matter to consumers besides having a cool phone and reasonable billing rates?

Qcom's "short term technology solution" meets my expectations for making a phone call.

(You're doing a great job, Tom.)

Ericsson only said they do not support or like the IS-95 version of CDMA . They hold many patents in CDMA. Truth of the matter is that many wonder if they can work around IS-95 to accomplish w-cdma without
paying QCOM royalties. Time will tell ?
