No, what it is is something else to offer the Chinese becaue they pissed them off wiht the GSM exclusion, then screwed them by offering them WCDMA which they can't deliver, and now they are not in the 1x game, so they want to delay them with the "just a little longer" drill one more time. "Just PLEASE, PLEASE don't use that GSM1x stuff, Mr. Unicom"........... Pretty pathetic. What is going to happen is that everyone will drop them as a vaporware delivery system and never listen to them again. Their credibility is going fast down the flusher. Too bad the upper management at NOK is too stubborn and too EGO driven to figure out that they are not making anything worthwhile other than useless infrastructure wihtout handsets and alot of future promises. The stuff they do make works so badly that they have carriers against them and they have nothing but recalls. Yet somehow they figured out how to make a proforma 10Q which actually shows a profit. Good luck.

re: Nokia's 1xEV-DV claims Even for Nokia - who may have proven itself master of embracing contradictory positions simultaneously - its hyperbole reaches new highs. But does the rhetorical knife have two edges? Can Nokia censor its dv flight of fancy in Europe? With the reality of poor wCDMA capability (<80kbs) and dismal infrastructure range/capacity leaking out of vendor labs and into the public arena... And concurrent with many European carriers' wCDMA timetables slipping into 2004 and beyond... Nokia claims - before Euro carriers can even launch the wCDMA networks that Nokia sold them - 2003 handsets and trials for a cdma2000 voice+data variant with 3mbs performance? While still adamantly insisting on the fundamental superiority of wCDMA? Only Nokia could "manage" this gymnastic ethical dilemma.
