Is Q so poorly understood that it still goes down 2 points on inflated press releases like this one from Nokia? As if this meant something big. Q dominates CDMA2000 and will continue to do so. Nokia Successfully Completes CDMA2000 Data Call Using Nokia Chipset SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 4, 2001--Nokia (NYSE:NOK - news) has successfully completed a CDMA2000 high-speed packet data call on a Nokia prototype handset powered by a Nokia CDMA chipset supporting packet data rates up to 153.6k Bps. The phone successfully completed both forward and reverse link calls, was able to upload and download Web pages from the Internet, and upload and download files using the phone as a modem. A CDMA2000 voice call was also completed with soft handoffs. ``Nokia is leading the way with next generation CDMA products,'' said Soren Petersen, Vice President and General Manager of CDMA for Nokia Mobile Phones. ``These high-speed data and voice calls demonstrate our commitment to providing world-class CDMA handset products to our customers.'' The call was completed in a Nortel Networks interoperability laboratory, located in Ottawa, Canada, using Nortel Networks CDMA2000 network infrastructure equipment. Nokia has been developing its own CDMA product line and chipset in San Diego since 1991. It is currently shipping its Nokia 5170i, 5180i, 5185i, 3280 and 3285 CDMA handsets to customers across the Americas.

"DoCoMo pushes back launch of some 3G services By Michiyo Nakamoto in Tokyo Published: September 3 2001 14:35GMT \| Last Updated: September 3 2001 14:53GMT NTT DoCoMo on Monday confirmed its third-generation launch for October but said some of its planned services would be delayed... Music and video downloading and streaming, two consumer services that had been expected to be highlights of DoCoMo's 3G service, have been pushed back... "The question is whether they can encourage people to spend more [on mobile phones] than they do now," said Takayoshi Koike, telecommunications analyst at Societe Generale in Tokyo..." Message 16292607 Your thoughts are always worth pondering but consider the above and then answer this: if and when KDDI comes out with attractive, small color screen enhanced phones that download music, video clips; that feature fast web-surfing with solid connections and have good battery life and consumers start seeing such stark contrasts in face to face competition, what will DoCoMo (and by extension other carriers) be forced to do?
