*OT*I think Tero's tact has been to show the total global awareness of the company's products. QCOM, on the other hand, while possessing lucrative licenses, has only shown the only facet of its business. That facet is only one of many in Nokia country.
Qualcomm has many facets to it's business.
They are the developer of Eudora, one of the worlds leading e-mail applications for PC's and Macs.
Qualcomm also operates a profitable satellite tracking operation called Omnitracs. This division actively tracks individual trucks worldwide via a satellite network.
Last year Qualcomm partnered with Microsoft to create WirelessKnowledge, a company dedicated to rolling out wireless data service solutions for corporations as well as consumers.
Qualcomm develops special products based on its technologies for the military, federal, local, and foreign governments. Qualcomm also develops secure CDMA wireless products with a net broadcast capability which will incorporate end-to-end security for the U.S. military.
Qualcomm is also combining its expertise in advanced image compression, electronic security, network management, integrated circuit design and satellite communications to provide a completely electronic delivery and presentation system for distribution and exhibition of motion pictures.
Qualcomm is also the first and only company to combine the functionality of a Palm handheld computer with a wireless phone.
Qualcomm also provides the most comprehensive CDMA ASIC solutions available today.
Oh, and I almost forgot, they also manufacture wireless handsets. I probably forgot a couple of things. Now what was that you were saying about Qualcomm having only one facet to it's business? By the way, does Nokia still manufacture rubber boots? I've been in the market for a pair lately. I hope they come in different colors.
I have owned Nokia since Oct 95. An investment of 100 shares then has produced well over 50000 to date. Given the fact that Nokia broad band strategy does not lie with one cellular product, my bets are with Nokia.
Nokia has had two 2:1 splits since 1995. That means 100 shares purchased then would now be 400 shares, not 50,000. If you meant well over $50,000, you are wrong again. 400 shares at Nokias all time closing high of 115 7/8 is worth $46,350. Even adding the dividends will not get you close to $50,000.
I would appreciate it if you would PM Tero in the future about your disagreements with Nokia since this is the Nokia board.
And you are the thread police? I will continue to respond to posts here. If they are off-topic, I will list them as such with an "OT" in the first line as the post you are responding to had. If you are so sincere about this, why didn't you respond to me via PM?
Lastly, Nokia investors, I think are a more informed lot than the QCOM posters who come to this board to settle their differences. Have you seen any Nokia posters on QCOM's board of late - in the past two years??
That's a hoot! I hope you are not representative of the NOK posters. Have I seen any NOK posters on the Q boards in the last two years? That's funny!
