Kent, wouldn't qcom leap at the opportunity to sign up nok? i don't get your point indicating nok is somehow locked out of cdma technology, forcing them to either buy qcom or develop their own competing technology to offer cdma-type functions. also, do you make a connection between china unicom's stating they would delay a qcom contract for about 5 years and the fact that qcom's key patents will have expired by then? i'm much more worried about my qcom holdings than i am about my nok stock. nok has the brand name, and about 40% of the european and asian gsm market. qcom has but one arrow in their quiver: those cdma patents, and i can't believe that the expirations are meaningless.
