Tero,

I'm not suggesting that operators are morons. They're obviously going to do their homework before they commit to spending millions on a 3G network.

What I'm suggesting is this: at this stage in time, an operator 'committing' to WCDMA is somewhat analogous to a freshman high school basketball player committing to a college. It's early and 'committments' are not purchase order contracts.

I'm interested in the 'test' networks you mention. Please provide proof WCDMA is nearly ready to roll. This subject has been debated ad nauseum on this thread and others. You use the term as if a WCDMA network is nearly ready to go and on the verge of being unveiled. I'm sure a WCDMA network is being tested right now...but I'm also pretty certain there's a LOT of work that needs to be done...I'm betting a few years worth of work.

Which is what keeps Q mgmt. up late at night. Q wants the world to begin converting to 3G today...they don't want to have to wait a few years for it to happen. Q's nightmare scenario would be for WCDMA networks to begin being installed somewhere in 2005 or beyond.

As far as NOK IR is concerned...I'm sure the girls are blonde and quite attractive, but why are the actress/models that display the phones working in IR? I cringe everytime someone reports the inaccuracies that come out of that dept.

However, one does have to admire the Nordic female attributes. Why you spend your time in the States galavanting around with Sprint phones is beyond me.
