Mika, I'm hundreds of posts behind but a quick scan of the Nokian one today seems to say 3G is a fantasy [the Cochrane guy], Irwin uses hype [EricL], 3G spectrum was a lemming business and other screeds of nonsense.

Such densely-packed wackiness makes me think I'm in a madhouse of desperate GSM Guilders whose currency is backed by mysticism, lies, ignorance, greed and hope [that GSM sales can just hold on against CDMA for another month or two or three - every month is $1billion extra so it's worth fighting every day and hour of the way for GSM to hold the line against CDMA].

So, I'm going to simply leave them to it for now. Yes, yes, you are surely right that CDMA will never see the light of day, it simply won't work, is late to market, has no support from operators, breaches the laws of physics and anyway you won't let it into Europe unless you get all the IPR money or Q! gets none.

And you call me a religious zealot?

Suffice to say that 3G is going to be the biggest thing in human history. And it will lead to something even bigger. Maybe Nokia won't take part in that evolution, but then, chimpanzees don't live in Noo Yawk and they are happy enough in their ancient way of life in the backwoods of Africa. Not everyone takes part in progress.
