    Are you sure of that? The version a couple years ago that Verizon sold did
    use the qualcomm chip. To my knowledge, there are only two makers of CDMA
    chips, Qualcomm and Motorolla, and the latter does so under license. I have
    never liked Motorolla's implementation ... their [last three years] phones
    stink IMHO.

    My direct experience is that my new Samsung I500's reception is clearly
    not as good as either my previous Kyocera 6035 nor 2035. I would say
    the I500 is about 80% as sensitive as those Kyoceras (the 6035 and 2035 are
    pretty close reception-wise).

    Tom, I really do believe that Nokia originally tried to produce its
    own CDMA chipset, and did not use Qualcomm's in their 6185. 100%
    certain, no. But maybe 85%. I followed it rather closely in the NG
    because I had one of the ones that worked sporadically. Dropped calls
    everywhere and all the time. It's been a few years, though.
