Larry, talk about shameless touting. ;-) Here is IRF's "extensive" list of portable products:

irf.com

The vast majority of this company's products are in power semi's, many of which require honking heatsinks. All-in-all mostly low-tech stuff, with correspondingly low margins. I see their growth tracking the overall industry, not a hot sector such as wireless. You made a good grab when this good stock got taken down by the overall market, but don't expect its growth to outpace any heavily tech-weighted index. All IMHO of course.

OT. Larry, this is not my phone, it doesn't work here, or I would have bought a turckload to resell here. It is an incredibly phone.

The nokia 8210 is a 800MHz and 1.8GHz GSM phone. It is actually not available in N.A, which uses 1.9GHz GSM & cdma for its digital phones.

I was back in asia recently and had to do some research on phones, LCDs and other related stuff. This phone kept coming up in various discussions.

This appeared to be the most popular phone since it is relatively affordable, very tiny and have lots of useful features. The Li-Ion battery is a solidly packed rectangular block, wrapped completely in white plastic. It takes up a good 2/5 of the volume of the phone and probably 2/3 of the weight but is hidden from view.

This phone is really really tiny, smaller than anything available here (even smaller than the nokia 8890).
