>>hmmm.. where's "open-everyting" Nokia? <<

Nokia has its own idea of how to acheive Unity and Openness. DPR

Nokia Looking For 3G Unity

Excerpt: In addition to the usual deluge of product announcements Wednesday that are standard at any industry convention, the wireless phone maker issued a call to other wireless equipment vendors to open up standards for interoperability in a wide variety of areas, preferably using Nokia's technology.

Dr. J.T. Bergqvist, Nokia senior vice president, said compatibility is the key to wireless phone equipment success in the future, and wants to create "technology modules unit" that will use Nokia technology to create an open vendor platform for wireless, which will be sold to all equipment makers (including Nokia) on equal terms.

"Nokia's strategy is to open the internal architectures for standard commercial components, thereby increasing efficiency throughout the industry and bringing consumers a wider range of new, exciting and affordable mobile services," he said.

It's uncertain what other wireless equipment manufacturers think of this somewhat utopian vision for wireless products based on Nokia's existing technology. Officials said they have approached other companies to join the technology module initiative, but wouldn't tell whether the vendors were interested or not.

It's open if Nokia gets to lead.
