SO Tero... Looks like we can FINALLY change the context of the discussion re NOK and Q. Q has seen the light. I assume you applaud this move. I've been inclined towards your view on the wisdom of Q remaining in handset biz for a while but was willing to let them work it out. Funny. Just bought a ThinPhone, my very first cell phone. Figured I could afford it now. It's a really nice lightweight phone. True enough, it needs to be charged frequently, but that doesn't bother me one bit. It's nice that the division has a reputable product to shop while on the block. I suppose Ericsson'll be the buyer but we'll see. Not really sure I understand what's in it for the buyer, a plant, some designs, employess,what's that worth? Perhaps the buyer gets a preferential chipset arrangement, the real carrot. What's your take on how this development changes things? Dave
