Its not verizon and broadcom, its broamcom and qualcomm

ANYONE is banned from importing handsets made after june 6th with qualcomm chipsets that include the disputed patents from broadcom.

Qualcomm lost, and now they are scrambling to find a way round. This effects ALL 3G handsets using qualcomm....verizon, sprint, LG, Samsung, etc etc are all petitioning..

Shame on big bad qualcomm....lets hope this is the beginning of the end of their old fashioned pricing structures.
