Nokia, re: "shepherding to 3G". For me this is the problem. Nokia is not acting like an aggressive "take all" company that I want it to be. If it is happy to milk the GSM base and ignore the CDMA buildouts until the GSM base goes 3G (1, 2 maybe even 3 or more years away) then they are admitting they will never be a player in CDMA 2.5 G and CDMA2000 and have relinquished this market to other players. I know the GSM base is huge but I don't believe the premier handset company can ignore CDMA 2.5 G and CDMA 2000. To me its a matter of cutting off the competition's air supply. The Kyoceras and the Samsungs will do very well in these markets without the competition from NOK which will make them formidable competitors in 3G (WCDMA or CDMA2000). Claude
