I plan to travel to Japan, will GSM work there? I visit london about 4 times a year, and this summer I want to stay in japan for a few weeks.. I'd like to have a phone that will work anywhere, period. I've read that GSM phones bought in the US don't work in japan.. is this true? My nokia 8890 (GSM) works fine in great britain, even if I do get gouged for each minute. It's worth it to not search for payphones and to be reachable by people back in the states, though..

Fido Magellan's Bob Stansky thinks stocks remain overvalued, expects below-average returns: marketwatch.com Market expectations low at Magellan By Justin Wiser, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 5:15 PM ET May 21, 2002 WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The manager of the country's largest active mutual fund voiced low expectations for stocks in an annual report filed Tuesday with the SEC. "It's difficult to get too excited about the market in the near term," wrote Robert Stansky, manager of the $78 billion Fidelity Magellan Fund (FMAGX: news, chart, profile). "I'm looking for modest returns from stocks for a couple of reasons," Stansky continued. "First, valuations are still historically high. Second, it continues to appear to me as if earnings growth will be somewhat subdued as we continue the economic recovery." "More optimistically, however, some of the best periods of stock market performance actually have occurred during periods of declining or sluggish earnings growth," he added. Past year Magellan lost 0.8 percent during the 12 month period ended March 31, compared to a 0.2 percent gain for the S&P 500. Tyco International (TYC: news, chart, profile) had the largest negative impact on Magellan's performance, while overweight positions in Fannie Mae (FNM: news, chart, profile) and Freddie Mac (FRE: news, chart, profile) also slowed the fund, according to the annual report. On the positive side, Stansky -- who has led Magellan since 1996 -- invested more aggressively relative to the S&P 500 in certain retailing stocks that turned in strong results recently. They included Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, Home Depot and Target. The fund was also overweighted relative to the index in a number of media stocks, such as Viacom, Omnicom Group and Clear Channel Communications, which rose smartly over the past six months. At 20.8 percent, financials remain the fund's largest sector weighting. Citigroup (C: news, chart, profile) is the fund's largest holding at 4.5 percent of assets. General Electric (GE: news, chart, profile), Microsoft (MSFT: news, chart, profile), Viacom (VIAB: news, chart, profile) and insurer AIG (AIG: news, chart, profile) round out the fund's top five holdings.

no nok has failed to develop the technology and have until recently not bought the chips from Qcom like everyone else.Qcom is Leagues ahead in CDMA. Also all upgrades from GSM are much more expensive and less spectral efficient so GSM 1xrt will entice Euro's to bolt NOk bandwagon. Ok. Thanks for the download. Strange things do happen to companies re NOK, I've seen it happen. Anyhow, I'll see if I can get some other technical input here, I'll post it if it's of any significance of course. Then I'll look at some chips and stuff. Thanks for the big update, and I hope I can contribute a little too.
