I know it's hard to believe but I am also a fan of Nokia....I just think that they are making a strategic mistake by not coming out with more competitive CDMA products. Also I enjoy debating Tero....He presents one of the few contrary thinkers when it comes to the Q's strategic position. It's not very productive debating the future of wireless with people who agree with you. Good luck.... Slacker

It should be obvious, by this time, that Tero is NOT going to become a big (you know who) fan. I agree, you're probably right. But if he ever changes his mind I will immediately sell all my (you know who) shares. Nice day for Nokia! From $96 three weeks ago to $137 today, been a fun ride! I am used to stocks staying flat to drifting down as soon as I'm in, but Nokia has been behaving like a good little puppy. Bux
