Wasn't there that rumor floating around the Yahoo thread late yesterday (_before_ the handset division announcement) about Q sending Ericsson a email about "press protocol"? If ERICY is the buyer of handset that would make a lot of sense.

For what it's worth, Rose sizes up the candidates:

MOT - No. Too busy/poor with Iridinot, General Instruments purchase.
NOK - No. Too proud.
Seimens - No. Tried in late July; rumor was that Q wanted too high a price (though that could have changed since).
ERICY - More likely, but can we really picture Ramqvist negotiating this kind of deal with Q?

I still would like to see a JV or manufacturing venture, but it does seem like an outright sale is more likely at this point.

In any case, we'll all see tomorrow, won't we?
