rob: ...So David, the GSM cabal -g flooding the market with extra inventory is bullish for CDMA sales? Not what I said at all. The price of the handset charged to the end user - in your case a negative price and in Mucho's only $50 - is not the price received by the vendor for the same piece of hardware. Nokia would hardly have the revenues and margins they have (albeit apparently on a down trend) if they were giving the handsets away, would they? So my Q was, how much are the carriers you and Mucho got your phones from subsidizing the handsets to attract/hang on to their subs? David T.
