Why do you think Sprint recalled all the 6185s in Aug for 3 weeks, and why are other CDMA carriers not yet accepting them? Do you anticipate further problems with the 8800? Are there probs with Nok's ASICs? Also, what is your take on the Samsung models like the 8800-like 3500, and the 8500. Certainly Samsung lacks Nok's cachet, but nice designs have a way of leveling the playing field. Especially when the carrier actually agrees to sell the phone. Sprint should have the 3500 quite soon.

But I would define 6185, 5100 series and the upcoming 8800 phone as "having a CDMA strategy". If three models aimed at three different consumer groups isn't a strategy, what is?

Only if all of the carriers accept the phone to sell....Sorry but I view having phones rejected by carriers as a bit of a problem. Especially when the phone (6185) was rejected by two out of the three carriers (BAM and PrimeCo) that were specifically targetted for the phone.
