Yes, Nokia needs new sparring partners, seems Samsung and Siemens will replace Ericsson...

Funny thing, I wrote something on Samsung, but I didn't post it(?), on some wierd stuff Samsung worked on some 4-6 years ago, I hope they have sorted out the internal accounting, budgeting, all the strange projects.
(with all respect for how the Koreans work on their future, and especially past, "sunshine politics",etc)

Siemens was even funnier some 4-5 years before that, most of the profit came from renting properties, etc, but
maybe they too have sorted out that. (that was before the common markets of EU made it possible to sell the
same, new product in all of EU, next week, not having to take one national market a year, and going back to zero
after some 6-8 year)

Especially for Nokia there was a real difference between a domestic 5 million market and a 200-300 million
population market, just to allocate some tens of thousands of wafers. (with a good yield, some 1-10 million
of chips a year, not to forget 10-100 million, different kind of business, and all those displays)

Interesting, Pelle-boy hasn't written anything on display problems of other handset manufacturers, maybe they are using different models??

Without turning upside down to have a peek at the Australian market??

Anyway, I hope Ericsson continues with the sparring, more personally difficult for Mötörölä..well,
Wällenberg and Gälvin...chips in the butt.. and maybe QCOM will earn their little bucks before they
spin off into orthoganal space, retire into the bay.
