I just made the same gesture as Broadcom lawyers did after the judge ruled in their favor. YEAH. Finaly Texas jerks got their ass kicked. I hope 08 will be better for Broadcom. I Never liked Qualcom and their bossiness in the whole 3G world...slapping those OOglee CDMA Qualcom labels on all all phones (remember PrimeCo phones...they had Qualcomm logo embedded in plastic case of the phones). Luckily they do not have monopoly on 3G chips so innovation rules...we will see goot things come out of it.
Just a point of reference but Qualcomm is based in Sand Deigo and the PrimeCo phones where actually Qualcomm handsets. The Qualcomm handset division was later sold to Kyocera. As a former long suffering Nokia employee who worked on the CDMA accounts it's good to see the smug jerks brought down a notch or three.

What does Texas have to do with anything? Qualcomm is based out of San Diego.
