Slacker,

<< I think the entire press release is worth posting.... >>

It most certainly is. Thanks for doing so.

I have modified my business plans for today to tune in to Matti Alahuhta's webcast at 12:50.

You put the highlights in exactly the right places. IMO, although the whole press release is pretty powerful.

One or two additional items that I believe should be highlighted are these:

We will start delivering MMS in our products during the 
first half of next year. .... Our first dual-mode GSM/WCDMA 3rd 
Generation (3G) terminal will also be an MMS-enabled imaging phone


There has been some controversy about Nokia electing to not implement EMS, and sticking with the Smart Messaging enhancement they pioneered, and which EMS emulates to a great degree for the near term.

I did not understand the whyfore of this at first. However, with the MMS standards pretty well squared away and relatively uniform across GPRS and WCDMA, I think they are considerably better off waiting to implement MMS in conjunction with WAP 2, extended memory, and J2ME next year with new display and battery technology (and presumably with the whittled down and prioritized subset of 'R97' PCCCH/PBCCH features - or revised 'R99' PCCCH/PBCCH features).

Best,

- Eric -
