That is Hilarious. They bought our first chips in 1992 and sat for months with our design team asking questions about how to build a phone, all the time reverse engineering them for their own design. The problem was they refused to LISTEN and now want to blame the problem on "tricks" hidden in the chipsets? They want to blame their own arrogance on others? What a joke. Samsung and Sony both reverse engineered the chipset in the mid 1990's and both had a "working chip" back then, but they made the decision to use Qualcomm chipsets UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THEY COULD BUILD THEIR OWN. Look at who had the fastest growing market shares in 1995 thru 1999 and look at who does not. Stupidity never ceases at Nokia. I ask again, how does the head of Nokia R&D in San Diego keep his job?
