Jacobs or Supulzio said in the CC that Nokia is not buying chips from Qualcomm. Was a surprise to me.

Nokia chips Okay, when you put it like that, I agree, Nokia haven't given up on producing their own chips for cdmaOne. I just mean they were using their own ones but I was under the impression they had such poor performance they went to Q! chips until they could get their own act up to standard. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I thought it was. I don't have the urls now sorry. In any event, I've always assumed that there would be various chip suppliers - licensees didn't give Q! licence money as a donation to the cause. If Nokia, Motorola, VLSI and others produce their own chips, we lose the ASIC revenue but retain royalties. Still a good situation. Mqurice
