Verizon Wireless’ V CAST and QUALCOMM’s BREW Solution Boost Premium Game Downloads Creating More Opportunity for Publishers and Developers

SAN DIEGO and BEDMINSTER, N.J. — March 22, 2006 — QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, and Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless service provider, today announced that Verizon Wireless’ V CAST service and QUALCOMM’s BREW® solution are helping meet the growing demand for high-quality mobile games. According to Verizon Wireless, the company saw a 36 percent growth in gaming downloads over the last year since launching premium 3D games as part of the V CAST service. Verizon Wireless’ V CAST service, which leverages CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO technology and the BREW solution, provides a wide variety of compelling wireless data options for subscribers, moving beyond just traditional applications to include mobile video and music players, 3D games and other advanced applications. This new data indicates how Verizon Wireless’ investment in its industry-leading wireless broadband network is leading to a significant uptake in high-quality mobile game downloads.

The combined capabilities of QUALCOMM’s 3D graphics-enabled MSM™ chipsets, the BREW solution and support for industry-standard OpenGL® ES APIs offers game publishers and developers an efficient, flexible and high performance solution for creating the most advanced mobile games for mass market phones. Currently there are more than 40 3D games available on V CAST, retailing between $7.49 and $12.99 per title for unlimited gameplay or between $2.49 and $4.99 for a monthly subscription. When these games are delivered over a high-speed network, such as Verizon Wireless’ CDMA2000 1xEV-DO-based national network, subscribers can rapidly access much larger and more compelling titles, generating excitement in the gaming community as well as significantly more revenue across the value chain.

“The availability of true 3G services through V CAST has proven to be a key differentiator for Verizon Wireless in continuing to offer the most compelling products to our loyal customers,” said Jim Straight, senior vice president of wireless Internet and multimedia for Verizon Wireless. “With so many active V CAST customers already enjoying high quality 3D games, music and video services over high-speed connections, we have no doubt that the service will continue to gain momentum as the technology curve accelerates and consumer demand for exciting mobile 3D titles increases.”

“We applaud Verizon Wireless’ commitment to offering cutting-edge and in-demand mobile games to its subscribers,” said Mitch Lasky, senior vice president of EA Mobile. “At EA, we are committed to publishing the world’s most exciting mobile titles including Need For Speed™ Most Wanted and Madden NFL 06 for V CAST. From a development standpoint, a high-speed data service like V CAST and the BREW solution make it possible for us to create and deliver feature-rich 3D games that boast dazzling graphics and multiplayer functionality.”

“Verizon Wireless’ success with its V CAST service further validates the benefits of launching rich and robust value-added services enabled by the BREW solution,” said Peggy Johnson, president of QUALCOMM Internet Services. “The demand for high-quality applications and content by wireless subscribers, and the efforts Verizon Wireless has taken to deliver these services, has proven beneficial to the other key members of the wireless value chain, including publishers, developers and device manufacturers.”
