And if there really is a wide-scale roll-out of 1XRTT one year from now, I'm sure Nokia has plans for that. In the meanwhile - are we going to use this entire year agonizing on which chipsets Nokia will use? Is this really a central issue for Nokia's profitability during 2000-2001? Nope, just pointing out that in my scenario the number of 1xrtt handsets sold would likely match the number of GPRS handsets sold (50m)....It's upto Nokia do determine if they need to address this market.

I have heard comments that the 7110 and 5110 are not as robust as they should be. Basically, there is a software glitch with the 7110 that results in an improperly functioning call group feature. The problem is worse for users using Chinese characters; apparently the phone hangs when accessing the call group feature and has to be switched off and on again to restore proper function. It seems that NOK has issued a notice to purchasers of the 7110 (Asia-Pacific region) to bring in their phones for an "upgrade" (aka fix). The 5110 has a habit of switching itself off--this I have heard from a user. Also it seems to suffer from LCDs getting damp and fading in humid environments. Have you heard any of the above and do you expect it to become a major problem for NOK? (Doesn't seem to have affected earnings of late, though :) Winston
