<I can imagine, how those customer studies are done: Do You want sheeper tariffs - 99% answered Yes Do You want smaller phones - 89% answered Yes My point. If I would be in Nokia management, I would try to integrate value added services to phones, not making them smaller.> Veiko, that is exactly how market researchers operate! But to save Tero's fingers, his point is that real live customers are buying the smaller phones which do have value added services and they are paying high prices to get them! This is where market segmentation, to coin a phrase, comes in. Some people with fat fingers and a big pickup truck with a shotgun in the back window want a big keyboard and shock-absorbing, waterproof casing rather than clip-on colour fascias. Japanese schoolgirls want 'Hello Kitty' pretty little phones with miniature keys. So far, phones are clones with little creativity and 'same size fits all' design. SI geeks want mini-notebook teleputers so they can download rants and streaming quotes and hit the 'sell' button while holidaying in Eketahuna. They want Globalstar mode. Everyone wants Globalstar mode, if it isn't too expensive or cumbersome. Maurice
