WCDMA is a GSM technology, so I assume it will effect ATT and T Mobile phones that would use this technology.

This will effect AT&T's already weak 3G lineup. And every other GSM carrier who is upgrading. Most 3G vendors use Qualcomm chip sets. Only a hand few don't. So this will cause a lot of problems. Broadcom really doesn't seem to understand that this will hurt them more then Qualcomm.

It will have some effect not only on AT&T and T-Mobile, but also on the smaller carriers that use the GSM family of technologies.

The Phones that would be affected on the AT&T Mobility side are as follows: Samsung (SGH) A707 Sync, SGH i607 Black Jack I&II Pretty much all Samsung's use Qualcomm but the majority of phone 3G enabled either use Broadcom or another vender for 3G Chipset. Some LG phones will be affected by this.

I think that Nokia Siemens is the partnership that concentrates on network infrastructure, and that other areas of Nokia do chipsets, but I'm not sure on that one.

Yeah, my POS Samsung ZX-20 has the Qualcomm 3G HSDPA sticker on it. I'm glad I have a Motorola 3G phone now. The Samsung drops 3G calls within 10 seconds of connecting - and the phone has been replaced 3 times, now exchanged for a Moto V3xx.
