I'm not sure I agree with your take on the announcement you cited. Assuming your interpretation to be correct, it would be an unusual deal for NOK to enter into because of the low-margin nature of the handset biz. Why should NOK go to a S. Korean manufacturer to have CDMA handsets built when it can buy the ASICs from Q and probably keep the damage to its margins to a minimum? Why is NOK going into a saturated market in which subsidies have been eliminated? This is strictly a 2G deal. As everyone knows, NOK does not have a 3g license. This is all very strange.
