Any thoughts?

Nokia's strategy will be based on a new standard called
GPRS. "GPRS does for mobile what DSL or T1 does for
the PC -- it creates a constant state of on," says
Sandelin. "You don't have to dial up and log on to check
your email or see the Internet."

He went on to show slides with Internet phones,
wireless tablet devices and mobile PDAs based on
3Com's (COMS:Nasdaq) Palm operating system.

Sandelin also shot down rumors that Nokia was having
component shortages. "There are no shortages of
components," he said tersely. "There are tightnesses,
but no shortage. We will meet the goals that we have
set for ourselves. Twenty-four months ago, it was
impossible to get components. I know that other
companies have talked about shortages, I don't know if
they didn't make the right plans or don't have the
purchasing power we have, but availability is in line with
the plans that we have."

Sandelin also suggested that Wall Street-style
accountability has permeated Nokia's culture. "Certainly
at Nokia, we don't say, 'I didn't get that because I wasn't
at my desk,'" he said. "That doesn't fly anymore, and
some of you may have found that excuse doesn't work
for you anymore either."
