GMGC is currently my favorite stock, momentum-wise, that I don't own...:o) Charts look really great, and it's still cheap. Good luck to you. Hope to have some myself soon.

Straight, I was hesitant in even attempting to answer your question as I really am not that knowledgeable about Ericsson. It does appear from what I have read today that it is more on a GUI and software level (software from MSFT that would be located in the Ericsson's Operation Center). But that is more of a guess on my part. Somebody else on this thread may know the correct answer:) I still believe that there is a limited use for GUIs on a phone (IMVHO). Mainly because of the small screen size and I don't believe that consumers will want a big phone just to accommodate a bigger screen. Why not just use a PDA if you are the type of individual that really needs some sort of graphics. Wireless phones, IMO, will most likely be used for communication, email, and transactions (to include web transactions). I thought I read today where MSFT is also planning for "many" more partnerships in the wireless/telecommunications industry in the near future. MSFT is probably trying to ensure that these wireless companies/carriers use their software or system. Again this is all a guess on my part. Anyway, take care. Kurt
