Lyn - I'm going to ask a few people who live in Europe on another thread what they know about KYO (from a consumer point of view). I'm here in Britain and although its not Europe its near Europe so I hope I'll do!! I sort of remember seeing a Kyocera product at Telecom Geneva. Other than that I've nver actually seen anything form Kyocera except on the Web in far off exotic places. I guess they are in the electronics business and are a Korean company I think. But I'm no expert and may be there are people with detailed knowledge of the electronics industry who would know of Kyocera. Best regards, L

Misc KYO observations Kyocera is in Europe, see kyocera.de "The European subsidiaries are mainly active in the sales of printers, quality photographic products and fine ceramics." Japan and the United States are friends, and Germany and the United States are friends after the horrible World War II. There is commerce between China and Japan, for example look at Sony's China website: sony.com.cn - As enemies become friends around the world, I wouldn't rule out KYO in China someday. As there are CDMA competitors to KYO, these other parties may evenentually establish relationships with China independently. As an environmentalist, I like that Kyocera is involved with Solar Energy - "Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Modules". IMO video phones will be very hot, and Kyocera is involved here kyocera.co.jp is would be neat to see this product available for CDMA users. BTW, I think KYO is a great choice, as it brings a fresh player on the scene and gives something for NOK and others to think about. BTW2, relations seem to be improving between China and Korea, perhaps Samsung CDMA could be in China before a Western company or now Japanese company. John

And while you're at it, ask those Europeans why they continue to charge by the MINUTE for internet usage? We are on the cusp of a major technological revolution, and they are still locked into the long distance model? What really ticks me off is I know this cute German girl who always cuts off chats with me because she can't afford the internet connection rates... "Oh, hi honey..." "What cute German girl?" "ah, er...just an inside joke with the thread." "Yeah, right. Make dinner yourself tonight you hussy!" Anyway... From my perspective, the European success in wireless was a flash in the pan. The tempest is returning to Asia with American design fueling the flames.
