on Nokia wisdom in purchase (not my expertise)
but Nokia is not adept at CDMA mfg process
suffering from low mfg yield in process
asked for and received gratis assistance from Q last spring
having some difficulty with integrating chipset into fully functioning phone

this purchase enables Nokia to overcome such problems
they currently license CDMA mfg from QCOM now
they have refused to date in simply purchasing the chipsets from QCOM

conjecture: publicity of high profile purchase will jumpstart CDMA wireless phone sales for Nokia

any corrections from gearheads or otherwise informed folks?

Jeffry Smith,

Nokia has paid up for CDMA. They have, however, chosen to try and produce asics themselves and proven that they are very hard to develop (as has MOT). Lots of their phones have been recalled.
Sure looks as a way out for NOK to save face about the asics.
I wish we had some concrete confirmation about the NOK emergency board meeting.
Hang on to something JimWillie, it should be fun.

Tony
