Do we see in future dual mode phones catering to both GSM and CDMA technologies?

No questions. First of all with WCDMA, since it is going in a new spectrum everybody recognizes that it should get commercially launched in good shape. So, for WCDMA you need dual mode, dual frequency bands phones which allows you to have complete connectivity.

We have been working on putting GSM and CDMA-1X on the same chip and providing software to support those and therefore have world class phones that can operate either in CDMA or GSM. The software will allow that to be curbed without having the user to be concerned about it as it would be the best way to provide worldwide roaming. We will then extend that to WCDMA chips.

The earlier standards will always be allowed because it take many years before people stop using them so one always need to have multi mode phones and multi-band phones. How much does Qualcomm spend on the R&D? What are the specific areas Qualcomm is focussing on?

Fifteen percent of Qualcomm revenue goes into R&D. The fund is not only utilized for developing ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
