<<The case for MOT & NOK purchasing Qualcomm's mobile phone operations>> NOK, with an ASIC deal, would be too much for me to handle. In fact, it already is. I'm heading out for lunch and a beer. Enjoy! Cooters

mts great post. it is exponentialy more important of who buys the handset div. rather then how much is paid for the handset div. although i like the part about "if its bought for under 5 billion". this is way way more then any figures that have been tossed about. a sale to either nok or mot will force V to have to raise his presplit target price again. think i'll buy some calls today. cfm

MOT vs. NOK vs. Ericy, playing them off each other, now that's game theory in action. Q gets to be the referee. Each player has to think of ramifications not just for themselves, but for all other players. And "the house always wins". That'd be Q.

Accretive to Nokia & Motorola if purchased for under $5 billion. * The purchase price is likely to be well below $750 million for the right strategic relationship. I.e. a long-term ASIC agreement. * Nokia can create $5-$7 per share in shareholder value, while MOT's market value could get a lift of $8-$11 per share. All I can say is wow.....If the analysts are right on this one then we could have some fundamentals to justify this run-up. I cant imagine news that would be much bigger than Nokia agreeing to a long-term CDMA chip deal. I'm getting dizzy.... Slacker
