<<NO WHERE ON A NOKIA PRODUCT WOULD THERE BE A "LICENSED BY QUALCOM" STICKER. NOKIA DEVELOPS ITS OWN CDMA CHIPSET. ANY ROYALTY PAID TO QUAILCOM WOULD BE ON THE VERY BASIC IPR LEVEL AND WOULD NOT REQUIRE A MENTION ON THE PRODUCT. WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE ON OTHER MANUFACTURER'S PRODUCT IS A CO-BRANDING AGREEMENT, BUT WE DO NOT DO THAT. THE AGREEMENT NOKIA MADE WITH TELSON IS FOR THE KOREAN MARKET.>>

Blatantly false. Lots of doubletalk. I have in my posession a Nokia 5185i that I bought at a local Verizon store that has a "Made in Korea" label on it. Also says Licensed by Qualcomm and lists some patent numbers.

Nok IR is being evasive. Their own press release on the Telson deal indicated that phones could be sold in markets other than Korea, as I recall.

The real question: Why all the doubletalk in response to a straight forward question? Is it because they really are using Qs chips in some fraction of phones, and don't want that to be known?
