In the conference call following Apple's earning reports, CFO Fred Anderson was asked to break down the relative increase and decrease in different markets. These were the numbers, in terms of percentage units sold, as compared with the previous quarter: Americas + 9% Europe +19% Japan + 6% Asia/Pac -28% Not sure how this would compare to Qualcomm's numbers for this Q, but hey, I'm more on-topic than most posters on this board. <g> rhet0ric

I had to return my (QCP-820) phone to Bell Atlantic. According to the sales person the problems i was having were very common amongst the first generation phones. Basically the key pad had worn down and no longer allowed me to dial many of the numbers or functions. He replaced it with no charge and said that the new models had been re-engineered and the new keypads were 600% stronger. This tells me there will probably be a lot of returns of the early models of the 820 as well and the higher frequency models(I would expect same problems). The # of returns will be the big factor as to weather it has any significance to the bottom line. Dan D P.S. I have been a QCOM investor for 4 years
