The current version uses Nokia's chip. However, we are working with Telson
of South Korea on a Nokia model that will debut in early 2001, as announced
by Nokia a few months ago.

Why is Nokia contracting Telson to manufacture phones with Q chips if they are now successful at manufacturing Nokia cdma phones with their own chips? I don't get it.

Also, I am going to purchase my first phone (since a five pound mot 10 years ago) and visited Verizon today. The NOK phone (with NOK chip according to the rep) is free after rebate but has no WWW access. The Q/KYO 2160 is about $30 and the Audiovox is about $90. The Audiovox offers vibration and a bigger screen for the extra dough. Seems like the KYO is the best choice - thoughts anyone? Is there any other better phone out there but just not handled by this Verizon office? Any reason to visit Sprint?

The rep said the NOK has been selling the best since it's free and they have been advertising it heavily. He said he hasn't heard of any problems with it yet like the last couple times they tried selling NOK but it's only been out for 7 to 10 days. Also said he hasn't heard anything about a new faster service to be available in the future. Rory
