An excellent correction, imho. Watching the candlestick charts closely. Some great dip opportunities coming including CREE.

Bought myself a Nokia 8850 mobile telephone today. A premium product - easily costs three to four times as much as another lower-end Nokia phone which has exactly the same functions (albeit with slightly more mass and volume). A tiny gem - built like a tank with what appears to be a body shell made of magnesium alloy (with a titanium-like surface finish), and a sliding cover (resin coated with a matching titanium-like finish) which functions as a microphone extension. This machine is probably going to be the last "high-end" dual band GSM900/1800 "only" telephone to be made by Nokia - the next wave of models will surely have built-in WAP short-messaging support. After Japan, Hong Kong will be at the forefront of the adoption of WAP, 3G, W-CDMA, etc. No, I didn't mind paying about US$750 for this machine which was going to become obsolete within a year's time, because of its design, functionality, and sheer elegance. Actually, a big reason why I bought the phone was because of my desire to own a CREE product! There appears to be two high-brightness white LEDs on each side of the oval-ish display window (four total), and a few more (two?) beneath the twelve-button pad to illuminate the keyboard's translucent white letters from beneath. The color temperature of the LEDs appear to be pretty "cool", approximating what one sees from fluorescent light bulbs. The clear acrylic cover on the LCD display, through which the CREE LEDs pass their white light, adds a slight blue-purple hue.
