Here's a CDMA first. Airtouch in the Detroit area is giving away Qualcomm Thinphones to new subscribers! I realize it's all in the way the deal is structured but still, who was it that said CDMA phones were just too expensive? Bux P.S. Correction on my last post. Slim Li-ion battery was $80.

Bux, interesting point on whether Thin Phone, being new and feature rich, will be immune from management assumption of ASP erosion: Message 10626937 Your position makes sense in that Thin is barely out and there is little in the price to be eroded <g> in this or next quarter. As to component shortage, true it's good business sense and legal cya to get it out on the table. Imho, think that if they sent Sulpizio to Japan to deal directly with the vendors, among other things, the problem is not trivial. Regards. Steven
