Gross margins are only down because they want to gain market share in the consumer handset market. Where profit margins are slimmer. Basically it is adding the consumer line onto its business smartphone line. Total revenues should be up, but together it will bring the gross margins down. Nokia is losing market share and is not going to get into a price war. This is one of RIM's gain. Palm is also losing market share. MOT is dieing. Also one expense I do not think that was mentioned was a Royalty payment to WiLan. That could have easily been the 1 cent miss that was unexpected. After all the politics, the bailout plan is now a done deal. The news the American empire is saved and the economy won't suffer a deep depression should give a boost to the stock market overall, at least in the shortterm. sz
