SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHO REALLY UNDERSTANDS THE PHONE BUSINESS TO DATE! The big issue is "what happens during the next 1-1/2 years as the sea change to EDGE/GPRS/WCDMA takes place. As Nokia says, the next 1-1/2 years are critical as to who becomes the leader in both the network business and the phone business. The numbers from this message and my previous one indicate that Nokia has the current leadership in ability to manage resources and understand both the technology and marketing aspects simultaneously.
