Tero, I liked your post. You gained street credibility. Companies infused with spirit [not in a mystical sense], verve, will, imagination, hope and stuff are the winners. Very intangible qualities which can emerge quietly and blossom. Or disappear as the originators leave = maybe Motorola's position.
My opinion remains that Qualcomm has all of those attributes. It interests me that your posts in support of Nokia seem more accurate and reasonable than your posts knocking Qualcomm. As though you want Qualcomm to do badly, but have to imagine reasons, setting yourself up for some cognitive dissonance as those who have thought Nokia would do badly are suffering. Not me you will notice.
Apart from threatening to steal Qualcomm's IPR, which leads me to suspect the substance of those above moral attributes, Nokia has done everything excellently. I question their genuine intent to support the W-CDMA 'let's steal the IPR' attempt since they bought a licence for cdmaOne from Qualcomm nearly a decade ago.
They are positioned to succeed brilliantly across the spectrum of handsets. I don't have an opinion on their infrastructure or other businesses.
Have a nice day, as they say, Maurice |
