Dennis: You are putting me on, right: "Regulators may be extra cautious to protect the European consumer from possible harmful effects of this new technology and will take their time." What "harmful effects" and how are consumers "protected" by being denied a phone? Chaz

Dennis, I really doubt that Ericsson has changed sides. Instead, their purchase of Qualcomm's infrastructure division was a cover-your-butt deal. Even they could see there were all sorts of reasons why CDMA was going to be important. Reality has a funny way of sneaking into dreams. For a number of quite rational business reasons, their first priority must and will continue to be their home-grown technology, GSM. Even if they agree and admit that Qualcomm's flavors of CDMA are a big part of the future, GSM will continue to be Ericsson's cash cow for years. There is also the dreaded NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here.)
