Ben- Thanks again for your valued insight. You wrote->>”Samsung's China JV could just as easily manufacture MSM6300 handsets as Samsung alone, and this would certainly be MII's preference. It seems unlikely to me that cdma2000/GSM handset production would be the genesis of Samsung's newly won GSM rights... <<<

I didn’t think of this aspect, so no doubt you’re correct. My thinking was that the Samsung/ Chinese company joint venture was to produce CDMA handsets. Could a handset intended for the GSM market (MSM6300 equipped) not qualify within that category and thus allow/ require Samsung to establish it’s own entity for GSM handset manufacturing?

In any event, as you say, it sure is a slap in the face to NOK and sends another POSITIVE statement supporting CDMA2000 vs UTMS/WCDMA in the 3G battle ground arena. I wonder if anyone in the “analyst” community is savvy enough to pick up on this?
