Nokia responds to Jacob's comments in FT:

Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia's chief financial officer, said Nokia expected the third generation market to be commercially viable next year.

Responding to Qualcomm's comments, he said: "Our view is drastically different. We know the technology is there. We know calls have been made in the lab in W-CDMA technology. We know we can ramp up the networks of our customers."

He added:
"I don't understand the comment of someone who is not even in the business in terms of selling systems. We will be selling W-CDMA handsets in volumes in the second half of 2002."


It sounds like there will continue to be bad blood between Qualcomm and Nokia. I don't think that's good news for anyone.
