To Tero: Yes in a culture where only appearance matters, not substance - you claim that is the case in Finland - at least for the young - color coordinated handsets (to match what?) and lightness sell phones to the ultimate consumer. But the consumer who chooses GSM or CDMA is the company that sets up and runs the wireless network. There CDMA is winning in a walk. GSM (again to my knowledge which is admittedly limited) is winning contracts only rpt only as extensions where the wireless network operator already uses (is stuck with) GSM. Can you cite any band new GSM system anywhere now or planned anywhere in the world (outside your beloved fortress Europa) which is not either by an operator using GSM in the past or tied to GSM in some direct way - such as membership in a consortium of GSM operators. To my knowledge all rpt all new systems have chosen CDMA from Australia through Latin America. Even in Brazil and Mexico the "new" GSM systems are by "old" GSM ownership, no? This is the real world where the rubber meets the road and where the future is determined not by teenagers or the otherwise young who choose phones by color or weight not function and future uses. Cheers. Chaz
