Maurice, I promise I won't sue you (or even tip off the Nokia lawyers). But in my book saying that some other technology offers lower cancer risk than TDMA is akin to accusing TDMA phones of causing cancer. I'm sure you wouldn't be thrilled if somebody claimed their sheep have fewer cases of scrapies than yours. Baseless cancer scares have wreaked havoc in several different industries before. Discussing the scientific merit of the issue is OK, insinuations and dark hints are not. No, of course there is not a zero effect. As you know, several things from peanut butter to air travel bump up your chances of getting cancer. But I claim that as a sales point this is a highly dubious one. Do marmalade manufacturers put out ads claiming that switching from peanut butter would lower people's chances of getting cancer? They would be right, statistically... but also utterly immmoral. I agree that believing that TDMA will dissappear is not slanderous, of course... anyway, people who do so will be punished by stock market so karma will get them sooner or later. I'm thrilled to hear that Ericsson will offer a CDMA phone that you can use on Mt. Everest and Kalahari. In 1998. Or perhaps 1999. At the very latest the roll-out will come by 2000, I'm sure. By then Nokia phones will probably be packing full multimedia capabilities, but nevermind. Some Swedish mountaineers will probably go for the Ericsson. It's a certainty that those pesky Swedes will also come up with www/e-mail/fax/telephone in a year or so. The thing is, by then Nokia will have the second generation 9000 at hand. One with lower price, bigger sales volumes, established publicity and improved functions. And there's in all probability going to be a CDMA model as well (this is highly confidential, BTW)... so you might want to check out NOK.A after all. Tero
