Cha2, for some reason your private messaging is turned off. If you can figure out how to activate it, I need to send you a PM. Frank

Chaz, I don't have any inside info on this or the earnings report. That is why I put it as my "Opinion" Several people I talked to that know Q down there believe that Siemens is going to get the Division. Q only went into this business because they felt they had to, IMO. If you take a look at the profit structure without it, I think you might be able to make sense out of it.

Just an observation (based partly from experience).....I cant imagine that all of the rumours that surround the Q on a daily basis are good for employee morale (and thus productivity). If employees in the handset division begin to believe that they will be sold off (especially to a slow-growth European company) they may just decide to start jumping ship. The longer the rumours persist the worse it would get....Isnt Nokia just down the road from Qualcomm? I know I would probably rather work for a company like Nokia than Siemens. Hopefully none of this is going on in the handset division (I dont have any personal knowledge)..... Slacker
