nok is having some problems with the 7100 series. Nokia Has Problems Delivering Cellular Internet Phone: Paper Helsinki, Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Finland's Nokia Oyj, the world's largest cellular phone maker, is having difficulties getting its 7110 series cellular phone into distribution, the newspaper Taloussanomat reported, citing Finnish cellular phone retailers. Most retailers, including the largest Finnish cellular phone retailers, have only received a few of the phones that are based on the Wireless Application Protocol, or WAP, which enables users to view Internet content through the small screen, even though demand for the product has been strong. One retailer said that whenever Nokia introduces a new product, availability is initially a problem. Sweden's Ericsson AB, the world's third-largest cellular phone maker, will put its WAP compatible R320 phone on store shelves early next year, making it the second Internet phone available for masses.
