JGoren he also fails that in the CDMA handset business they are catching Nokia very quikly. He also has this blind belief that Nokia handsets in CDMA are better then the Q's. I simply flatout disagree with this. The CDMA Nokia phones are terrible, and everyone except TERO will admit it. If you go into BAM stores they wont even carry NOKIA'S. Nokia is living off its TDMA/GSM phones. They have yet to prove themselves in the CDMA market. If we use his computer industry Analogy Qcom would be a hybrid intel/msft/dell and Nokia would be simply a box maker. Which is the more dynamic business model? Thats obvious to me, and my $$$ is where my mouth is. I think Nokia is going to have a tougher time vs Qcom in the handset business then they did against Ericy and MOT. Qcom is way to swift and inovative, a trait Nokia's past competitors lacked. They also invented the technology and are several generations ahead of Nokia. I ripped Qcom when they came out with their flip phone, and I seriously considered selling my position at the time because I really fealt Q had droped the ball. However The Thinphone is the best Phone on the market. It has a better sound quality, battery life, inginuity then any of the Nokia's. The Nokia is more stylish, and more expensive, and isnt even CDMA. So until Nokia comes out with a CDMA phone that is even in the same ball park Tero should keep his mouth shut. He has been wrong so much its funny. Do you notice he doesnt visit anymore? Atleast Mika had the class to admit he was wrong about somethings. Tero said CDMA would never be the standard, WRONG, he said Q thinphone wouldnt be out on time, or before NOKIA's CDMA phones, WRONG, He said Nokia stock would outperform Qcom, HAHA! His opinion is worthless!
