Ban Halts Release of New 3G Phones
iPhone?
Whatever needs to happen, needs to happen really, really fast.
I am just jaw dropped, absolutley shocked, this really needs to get settled, and quick!!!!

No it will not happen. 3G device will not happen for some time.
True, with the Qualcomm ban, it will not happen quite for some time since there will be no need to compete...
However, at&t will be able to convert to using Broadcom to implement their 3G phones...but Broadcom does not make chipsets for CDMA, since only part of WCDMA has any base of the core of CDMA (and I beleive that part had become open source)
So far, only Qualcom is legally allowed to make chipsets for CDMA, since they never let anyone else make them due to some kind of trademark..So this will leave Sprint maybe scrambling to switch over to WiMax sooner than expected and leave Verizon dead in the water...unless they can find something new and fast.
