It seems like not only is the CDMA handset missing, but there have been a number of other GSM handsets that have been announced, but won't be released for a while. And the new TDMA handset was just announced, but for release sometime in 2003. Coincidence, or a pattern. In respect to the CDMA handsets, when combined with the termination of NOKIA's Korean foray, and the hiring binge in San Diego, one could conclude that something is up. However, what is up is a complete mystery. Of course, the longer Nokia does not implement an effective strategy, the longer that Nokia is giving its full support to the GSM/GPRS/EDGE world. Since more than 72% of the world is non-CDMA, from Nokia's point of view the longer it can keep the cabel together, the better. This is especially true in light of the results in Korea where Nokia has a 1-2% market share when going head to head against the other CDMA handset makers. That would be very troubling, if I were Nokia. IMHO Bob
