Actually Caxton, to be fair, there are plenty of people at Nokia who are not like that. Heck, some of my best friends are Nokians and they seem, by and large, kind of civilized.

While it seems true that Nokia has used the W-CDMA vapourware to prolong their GSM sales advantage, they have perhaps made a genuine [if incompetent] effort to make GPRS work because that would help prolong GSM life. It's a shame it gobbles spectrum and batteries so much [but at least it's expensive].

If service providers think they've paid a bundle for 3G spectrum when the technology is a lemon, they are going to start to get annoyed at Nokia [and Ericsson and D'oh!CoMo though DCM's money should help calm them - Nokia's vendor finance could come home to haunt them too though maybe there isn't much of it actually out there yet since W-CDMA is still on the drawing boards].
