Maybe they "have been" but it certainly doesn't look like many of them are now.
Is that the best you can do? A "maybe" here and a "doesn't look like" there? Simple manipulative language without a shred of hard evidence. Many have preceeded you on this thread with the same argumentative strategy for denigrating Nokia and yet, in spite of all the spiteful wishful thinking, Nokia is now gaining worldwide market share at a rate of 1% a month, without, I might add, any substantial business from Verizon. Nokia and Verizon can obviously live without each other and prosper. It would be better for Nokia to do more business with Verizon, no doubt about it. Verizon sees that its own selection of Nokia phones for its subscribers doesn't include Nokia's most recent model, but that nineteen of its competitors, including Sprint PCS, Alltel, and Qwest, do. This seems like a real business risk to me, given that Nokia's brand is the most popular in the world.
P.S. "everybodies", if interpreted to mean "everybody is", is correctly spelled and elided "everybody's". |
