to get a true comparison with the old rate, we need to convert the $2.5B up front cash payment and add it to the 1.6% - then compare it to your estimated 3.5% running royalty and add the upfront payment when the original agreement was signed in 2001

You can add in the return on the $2.5 billion in cash and it still wont add up to the old rate. The only way Q makes more money from a straight finacial perspective on this deal is if Nokia loses share.

Then we can say yeaa, we got a good deal!, or naay, we got screwed!.

Nobody said we got screwed. I am just saying that are rate is substantially less than the old rate (in response to a question by you)....and I even pointed out some of the things that Q got in return in my post.
