tero: Astute set of observations. If infrastructure is now important to Nokia, when in your judgement will Nokia obtain a license for CDMA infrastructure (for all flavors)- that is needed soon, no? Best. Chaz

Nice try:) My take is he is pissed off, period. Someone(s) in the organization have not put Nok's best interests before their own. You could play this down all you want, Time always tells.............. I hope he steers NOK to becoming a Pro-active company again, instead of a Re-active sort based on the CDMA debacle...............

"it is an indication that Nokia is starting to make inroads in the North American mobile network market." You bet'cha! Today, I received a letter from AT&T Wireless that offered a NOKIA 5160 for 30 day free trial. The phone comes with choice of 5 color faceplates, a clock with alarm, free Call Waiting and Free AT&T caller ID, plus all-in-one paging. You can access short email messages. Plus, you can chose one of 30 distinctive ring tunes. AND they promise to ship your phone to your door tomorrow along with your free bonus gift: a vehicle power adapter and battery recharger! Whew! I wondered if I mentioned that the digital phone weighs only 5.7 ounces and is 5.2 inches tall!!!! I haven't had a cell phone or hand set for awhile, but I may take up T's offer on this deal to see how I like it. GO NOKIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tero, Re: Nokia - Java - EPOC - Symbian - Psion - Sun - Sony >> Nokia to add Java to Cellphones cellular.co.za June 18 2000 Finland's Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, will add Java technology to some of its future cellphone models, allowing users to remotely download applications from the Web to their mobile terminals. In the first phase, Nokia Oyj Abp will install Java technology in EPOC-based smart phones and communicators, but the company plans to bring Java into other mobile terminal categories as well, Nokia said on Tuesday. The first Nokia products to support Sun Microsystems Inc's (SUNW) Java technology will be on the market in 2001. Japan's NTT DoCoMo Inc, the world's second-largest mobile phone service provider, said earlier this year it planned to incorporate Java into its Web-surfing "i-mode" mobile phones coming out this autumn. Java technology complements Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), a technology used to give cellphones limited access to the Internet, in providing additional features and functionalities to future mobile terminals. Nokia said it expected annual sales of Symbian's EPOC and other Java enabled mobile phones to exceed annual sales of personal computers by the end of 2003. Symbian, built around British Psion's (PON.L) EPOC operating platform, is battling Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to offer the industry standard operating system for next-generation portable devices. Nokia is a member of the Symbian consortium. << also: >> Sony and Sun Microsystems Unveil Java Technology Enabled Mobile Phones At JavaOne June 18 2000 Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition to Enable Widespread Delivery of Interactive Services to European Consumers Sony and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (SUNW) announced today that the companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop mobile phones based on Java(TM) 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) with the goal of shipping these devices in the first half of the year 2001. Sony will demonstrate an early version of the Java technology enabled wireless handset at the JavaOne conference. The companies will collaborate to implement J2ME and the Mobile Information Device (MID) profile in Sony's new GSM and GPRS cell phones. The inclusion of J2ME provides Sony a rich and robust environment to support interactive wireless network games and secure e-commerce transactions. The initial rollout is targeted toward select European network operators. "Sony has been an early adopter for Java technologies in the consumer market," said Curtis Sasaki, director, Product Marketing, Sun's Consumer Technologies. "Sun is thrilled with the opportunity to work with Sony on the development of Java technology-enabled phones and next generation interactive wireless services." "We are enthusiastic about our future collaboration with Sun,'' said Mitsuya Kishida, Director Business Planning at Sony Digital Telecommunications Europe. I feel a great commitment in both companies to develop a product that will allow widespread delivery of interactive services to customers in Europe." As part of the definitive agreement, the companies also intend to define a set of joint marketing programs including a cooperation in marketing Sony's J2ME enabled products in the European GSM network operators market. << - Eric -
