Jeff, << Nokia is giving phones away and still cant keep the channels open and growing. >> Nokia is "giving away" one out of 3 phones manufactured in the world while maintaing an operating margin of 22% on those phones they are "giving away" that produces a "real" net profit for their corporation on those phones they are "giving away" that is roughly equivalent to total revenues for Qualcomm. That is quite a give away. - Eric -

Jeff Vayda money.cnn.com Earlier in the week, carriers like Sprint PCS (PCS: Research, Estimates) and Nextel (NXTL: Research, Estimates) had reported healthy levels of subscriber growth and Motorola hinted that second-quarter sales of its cell phones would be stronger.
