>> TMF Mycroft states "In the CNBC Interview with Maria B. last Friday, Nokia's CEO Jorma stated that he will in 18 months have a similar market share in CDMA phones as he does in all the other areas. This is the best news that my old tired ears could hear....We are now the 800-pound Gorilla in the wireless field."

Incredible. Mycroft apparently feels that an off the wall comment from Jorma means the deed is done. I'd recommend s/he watch cnbc for a few months to observe the long string of failing CEOs shamelessly over-promoting implausible prospects of success for their companies (Armstrong comes to mind). I'd also suggest s/he rtfm, as gaining 30% share of the cdma handset business would not change NOK's status from King to Gorilla.

Sounds like Mycroft may be a pseudonym for Tero <gg>.
