Hello, DWB. Add me to the club that's adding Lor and G*, slowly but solidly. I'm fully prepared for both to take significant time to bear fruit; doubt that we'll see a major spike anytime soon, almost regardless of any good news. Appears that much of the selling has been concentrated in the extremely valued, based on historical benchmarks, and the more "speculative" companies. Gems, although a bit dusty at the moment, like G* and Lor fit squarely into the speculative category in the eyes of many and could be *off-limits* for awhile. JMO.

........VVVVVVVVVVVV

Well, one area in which G* is quite publicly being favorably compared to I* is quality performance and ease of use. Not that many phones were involved in either case, but when I* phones were deployed in Kosova, many stories about less than stellar performance began to surface almost immediately. G* phones in Chechnya appear to have been deployed without any attendant performance criticisms.

I agree that I* comparisons have severely hurt G*, far more than I expected - though in hind sight it seems so obvious. To the extent that the oh so slow "soft roll out" has enabled G* to maintain performance quality, it may pay substantial dividends down the road.
