Re:   QUALCOMM Incorporated Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to QUALCOMM Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
("QUALCOMM"), in connection with the filing of the above referenced Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement relates to
the proposed issuance of shares (the "Shares") of QUALCOMM Incorporated common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, made and entered into as of July 25, 2005,
by and among QUALCOMM, Fluorite Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
Quartz Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Flarion Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and QF REP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Merger Agreement").

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Registration
Statement and originals, or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction of: (i) the Merger Agreement; (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation
of QUALCOMM, as currently in effect; (iii) the Bylaws of QUALCOMM, as currently
in effect; (iv) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of QUALCOMM; and
(v) such other documents, records or other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all
documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile, or copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of
documents executed by parties other than QUALCOMM, we have assumed that such
parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all
obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all
requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery of such
documents by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect
thereof on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinion expressed
herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied
upon statements an representatives of officers and other representatives of
QUALCOMM and others.

We express no opinion concerning any law other than the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("Delaware Law") and the federal law of the United States.

of (i) the compliance or noncompliance of any party to the Merger Agreement or

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly
authorized by QUALCOMM and, when issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

upon by others without our prior written consent. This opinion is given as of
the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this
opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention or
