Actually I was not espousing a 'grassy Knoll" theory. But particulally in Korea the 3 companies chose different strategies in, what was in my mind, Was the opportunity to play ALL sides of the fence until they really DO have to make a decision. Not real verse on Brazil. In conclusion I do not beleive a real decision has been made, making my fourth alternative to your laundry list plausable. Ultimatley I will bow to your greater knowledge.

Come now Tero, surely you jest. Did you miss the part when SKT's head man says they are choosing W-CDMA because half their stock is owned by companies that would sell it if they chose otherwise? Extortion is a lethal weapon. I wouldn't put much stock in Korea's goings-on. They are all 1X, right now. They will appease the extortionists in other parts of the world with soothing W-CDMA tripe even if they have no plans for deploying it for 4 years.

Hey Hey, Tero Good to see you are still in nordic fantasy zone. Riddle us this. Worldwide cdma phone sales should total about $18 billion next year. If it could make a decent cdma phone NOK might be expected to get maybe $5 to $6 billion of this market. Why haven't they? Can the NOK board and shareholders be happy about this? With Sprint's recent adoption of Snaptrack technology to implement the government's 911 requirements, how is NOK ever going to sell a phone to Sprint? PS. For Hockey-Puck, NOK IS TOAST!
