Color screens without color services is one thing, color screens with color services is another. Both Japan and Korea have "color services". PCS and Verizon are indicating that they will have the same during the second half of the year. Just waiting for the equivalent in the GSM world.... Somebody has to start building the factories that produce all those color screens and Nokia is more directly active in the building, testing and verifying of standards than in the building of color screen factories. I think there must be some factories somewhere....those 40 million screens didnt appear out of nowhere. I follow the Japanese market pretty closely and I have never read about a shortage of screens for their handsets. Of course, some of the manufacturers are vertical manufacturers so they may not want to sell to Nokia. Slacker

Huh? Somebody has to start building the factories that produce all those color screens Self-evident. Elves don't do it. What is the problem with color screen, you order as many as you think you might sell, at a mutually agreed price, future business, design the little display driver chip to drive it, and add some memory to hold RGB instead of just gray scale? Yes, that is generally how it is done. One orders as many gizmos as one thinks can be sold. And, yes, orders generally are at a mutually agreed upon price. All of it being obvious. But this part is especailly opaque: future business, design the little display driver chip to drive it, and add some memory to hold RGB instead of just gray scale?
