NOK 6185. Jon, so isn't this the NOK phone that, according to Valueman, Q helped NOK sort out its software-related chip problems. One wonders how Q is doing with its up to $xxxx.00 purchase order with USW. Of course, USW may not be focusing on its phones much these days. I'd much rather have seen Q sell its capacity-constrained initial shipments of thin phones to Sprint than to Montana or Idaho (with apologies to Phil Jackson and others in that neck of the woods<gg>).
