Excuse me if I ask a question outside the realm of the CDMA/GSM wars...but one thing no one seems to dispute is Nokia's dominance as a handset maker. What are the EPS prospects going forward? A look at the five-year consensus on forward EPS says about 22%, w/trailing PE a little over 40. Is there reason to hope for much upside from the consensus figures? Sounds like Nokia is doing a lot with data-enabled terminals, which presumably carry higher margins. Dell has shown it is possible to acquire a monster trailing and run-rate PE in a commodity biz that seems a lot simpler than wireless. I guess what I am wondering is, why is the trailing PE relatively low for a company (NOK) that dominates its niche in an exploding market? Seems like it could be priced a lot higher...am I missing something? Thanks for any input, Greg
