B - that was either incompetence or deliberate misrepresentation; not both. People should always be given a benefit of a doubt. That's only fair. If you can come up with some alternative explanation, I would be glad to hear it. How do you justify off-hand remarks that include baseless claims about GSM's performance? Data about uncompleted call rates and voice quality comparisons are freely available from a variety of independent research sources. Ignoring research to maintain a bias is not defensible in my opinion. As you may have noticed, Nokia is routinely accused of dishonesty and deception on SI - day in, day out. Do you only notice the harshness of that accusation when it's directed at a company you have chosen to believe in? Think about it. The misrepresentation of GSM technology in USA goes to the heart of why several of Nokia's technology initiatives have been initially ignored by Wall Street. It took literally dozens of GPRS orders to be placed before all analysts had to acknowledge that this development will have an impact on Nokia's future earnings. That's the reason why Nokia still has a capacity to surprise during the next couple of years - the growth prospects of GPRS network and handset sales remain largely ignored by most tech investors. It's the absence of hype combined with virulent attacks on GSM and TDMA that makes these markets the last unappreciated growth engine in the telecom industry. Tero
