Amen to that. I like what Qualcomm has been doing to position itself well in a much changing world.

@Parveen,

I typically use these devices on-and-off, though most of the time I have a dedicated device for basic tasks such as email, IM and phone. I am currently using T-Mobile Curve 8900 and a standard Samsung flip phone from Verizon.

Just curious. Do you actually have and use all these phones? ;) You write a lot about so many devices, phones, etc. Do you really use them or just try them out and write about them?
