exactly, go find that slide we got a month ago on Nokia market share relative to LG and Samsung in WCDMA. If it were cost, they (Koreans) would not be growing at 2x the rate of NOK.

The real reason is that NOK outsources all their high tech phones for development to offshore houses, which means they pay alot more in development to get to the same place as the Koreans. they only know how to design very low cost units. They are missing the mark on 3G. Nobody wants a 3G $20 phone. NOBODY. That brings with it a set of features which has no 3G abilites. Small screen, simple keyboard, no camera, etc. Like India prepaid phones. Not a phone for EU. EVER.
