All: From this morning's briefing.com: Telecommunications Equipment/Brief: As they have done all year, group exhibited impressive relative strength in the face of Friday's sell-off, with stocks ended narrowly mixed... Qualcomm was one of the only notable losers, shedding 1 point on anxiety over developments in Asia... Look for return to 47-45 area over near-term given unclear earnings picture and deteriorating technical tone. Another "buying opportunity" ???

Clark, Why can't someone cost effectively design and manufacture a dual mode phone which works with both the GSM and CDMA air interfaces? What are the key differences in these standards from a phone point of view? What phone components would be different? Is power and weight the "show stopper"? Or, is it the complexity of sharing parts? Wouldn't Ericsson's G* phones contain a lot of the necessary integrations? Being a technical dullite, and a dumb one at that, this concept is something that has been haunting me ever since I picked up my QCP 2700. It works so well in both the digital city and the analog country. Appreciate your thoughts. Following further and onward. nf
