There you go again offending people.<g> Weren't you the one wishing that Nokia will sign a contract with Qualcomm after the CDG conference? Weren't you the one wishing that Nokia will buy Qualcomm? LOL. 1 out of every 3 Nokia employee (55,000+) is involved in R&D. Although not known as an infrastructure powerhouse, its network infrastructure business is already more successful and profitable than Qualcomm's former network infrastructure operations during its entire existence!! Its handset business will sell more handsets than the entire CDMAOne market this year. Let's dispense with the misconceptions, shall we? And....while it's nice to see you start to sharpen your wit (that dentist bit was funny!), can you limit yourself to one fantasy at a time? Please?

Hi Ruffian, To say that Nokia is NOT and Engineering company is a stretch. Nokia singlehandedly has turned Finland into an R&D country. Nokia Research Centre (NRC) is comparable in size to all of Qualcomm and that that is just their "heady try anything center" not even their product R&D centres. As you well know I admire both Qualcomm and Nokia and still wait for a very close partnership (not a buy out, too much $$$ and not required)but to paint Nokia as an assembly line company is not accurate, hey even Ford (the company that started the assembly line) has a great Engineering group. (Red Herrings top 100 companies). Regards
