Dave, you should understand, not that you will have seen it in your lifetime, that political strength in the end is based on military power and when push comes to shove, that is the determining factor. Usually people can circumvent military action by discussing, negotiating, thinking and coming to some agreement. But all too often they can't. The USA doesn't keep the immense military power it does just for fun you know. It is to back up their political and judicial systems. You kidding with 'wierd'? You have to know it is 'weird'. Even in USA. 95% is hopeless. Imagine all the retyping. What a pain. If you haven't seen the Denso handset, the 6160 might not be that much of a winner by comparison. Is the 6160 cdmaOne? There are now about 12 cdmaOne handset brands on the market, with models proliferating. And sales booming. I'd heard the Nokia cdmaOne handset wasn't that hot, with the ASIC being not up to the MSM3000 quality, or even earlier chips. Meanwhile, L M Ericsson has completely lost their marbles. "Despite a thorough investigation, Ericsson has found no reason to believe that ETSI's present WCDMA standard would infringe upon any valid IPRs claimed by this company." That means all discussions with QUALCOMM over IPR must be off as of now. Or is this just another lie by L M Ericsson? I'm very happy to bet that they are liars, as proven time and again. For example, they claim to have been working on their wideband CDMA fantasy since 1989. Yet half a decade later, they claimed CDMA couldn't work in mobile. There would be collapsing under load. There would be an uneconomic, late to market, hopeless case CDMA mess, with Frezza even claiming it was all a fraud perpetrated by a CDMA mafia. Well, L M Ericsson and their agent Bill Frezza were wrong. Talk about scum. Okay, let's see QUALCOMM withdraw from offering such scum the use of their CDMA and persevere with cdmaOne and cdma2000. And defend use of cdma2000 in court if L M Ericsson is so stupid as to waste 10s of millions of dollars on a 1% or was it 2% chance of a clean sweep. Maurice PS: Dave[clone3], I'm short of time - haven't forgotten your LONG POST patent posts on Q.com thread - haven't even read the thread yet! Had to come and put Tero on the straight and narrow.
