ruffian2000 (48/M/Orange County, Ca.) 12/14/1999 12:13 pm EST down big, might be something to the rumors. remember IJ said a month ago he couldn't believe no one attempted a buyout! also MJ said in another quote "NOK would be my best friend"! Q would have to do one more split in mo, before the above would happen, if it will. Ruff

I seem to remember that Q would not be completely out of the handset bus. even after the sale, that they would continue making Globalstar phones and perhaps other unique models. Does anyone else remember this and are able to offer more detail? Claude (rhymes with TOAD)

More thoughts on NOK + Kyocera... Ive been bothered as to why NOK would buy the handset division. The news regarding a joint deal with NOK and Kyocera has opened up a new possibilty. Kyocera was a major player in the Japanese PHS market. It is a formidable handset and chip developer. NOK we know, is one of the foremost handset companies in the world. QCOM handset division doesn't realy bring anything these companies don't already have. I think they are going after the ASIC's. I'm off ferreting and will post if I find out anything. w.
