Three Separate Posts From Yahoo> Huge press release imminent by: Wing_Attack_Plan_R (38/M/San Diego, CA) 19780 of 19784 Will be a classic 'good for shareholders;bad for employees' scenario. Yes: I know what it is. NO, I will not disclose it due to my loyalty to QC. This news wasn't expected until after the ericy deal was fully closed on the 24th, but with SEC approval of that announced today, there's no need to delay the announcement further. Besides: a delay will further the chance that someone spills the beans on a message board before an official announcement. That would be unfortunate. QC will SOAR in the days, weeks and years ahead. QCOM TO GO UP BIG TIME by: bigalraiderfan 19782 of 19784 major news release very soon. look out, this stock to double and split again very soon.get on now before i told you so. General Jack Ripper, huh? OK.. if you say so! Yes: I got the word on this news announcement too <sigh>. Life at Qualcomm will never be the same again for employees. Ironically, many QC employees that transferred to Ericy will soon see that THEY actually will come out better than many left behind! As a result, I'm amending my earlier forecast as follows: this stock will not take a beating from the employee lawsuit. I overstated my case (not that I thought the suit had merit to begin with.) I'm pleased that General Ripper did not disclose the details, and out of respect for QC: neither will I. From a business standpoint, this news will be stupendous, logical, and will serve to reward shareholders even better than the ericy thing did. Go QC. Go longs!

Here are the specs for the QCP-860(dual mode): With the internal battery(weighing 4.23 ounces): 2.5 hour talk, 3-4 days(72-96 hour) standby With the slim external: 6 hours talk, 10 days(240 hour) standby With the extended external: 10 hours talk, 17 days standby The batteries are able to be added or taken off at any time, even while talking(hot swappable). Nokia compares with 3.75 hour talk, 115 hour standby, weighing 50% more, costing twice as much(as far as we can tell now). There you have it. My intent was to assure myself that Q could sell all the phones it made, just as they do now. They will easily do that.
