>>Nokia is still a king in the wireless market and they will continue to be a king in 3G <<

Nokia is king in wireless handsets for now, but this does not mean it will continue. Remember when MOT was king? Remember when GSM was the future? Nokia could ensure their top position by signing with QCOM and building handsets around QCOM chips in addition to TXN, but this is not the course they have taken. Nokia decided to put its top position in peril by openly vowing to use QCOM IPR and not pay for it if QCOM did not start to charge what Nokia thinks it should charge. This was not a wise move, but Nokia has distinguished itself in the last few years by acting in curious business ways. Re their strange attitude toward not using QCOM chips for CDMA. This attitude has cost them dearly in revenue and greatly promoted the status of their competitors. Samsung et al cheer Nokia's self crippling hatred of QCOM. It's caused Nokia to, for no reason, shut itself out of a big wireless market. Once you let emotion run your business you're messin up. Many may hate QCOM, but use their tech because it is the best. They will stop using it when it is not the best and never look back. Never let personal get in the way of business. Go ahead and hate QCOM, but use anything they have to make you money.
