Yea, you're right. It will be near to 50 grams if Nokia, Ericsson, the Japanese companies plus American ones aboard (there will be US ones devoted to WCDMA, along with their possible other choices) want it to be. In 2001 there will be credit card sized (actually there is right now) GSM phones - you think WCDMA will be 250 grams at the time?

LU, NT and even QCOMdog may be great companies and IS-95 but may be great platform but the time window for IS-95 is just too short.

Quincy, have a good day (at your *techie* department of whatever company you're working with).
