Dave with all due respect I have two startacs and they have been plagued with problems and short battery life. The thin phone will sell for 60% less then the Startac and the Nokia. Why does everyone assume that QCOm handsets cant compete with Nokia and MOT? If Nokia gets its CDMA phone out quickly it will only bring more people in from ATT. The biggest problem for CDMA is lack of heandsets selection. The current Qcom phones are the best entry handsets for CDMA by far. The Startac is a good phone but it costs 300-600 dollars. I wonder what the Q could do with that type of priced phone? The last matter is in regard to Nokia. In the ATT realm NOKIA has had a near monopoly having pathetic compatition from Ericy and MOT(until recently). The proliferation of new models will hurt Nokia more then anyone else. Qcom is a niche manufacturer and can only make so many phones anyway. I would be more concerned as a Nokia shareholder then a Q shareholder. What happens when all those Japs and koreans start making phones for CDMA?
