t seems to have been a truly huge blunder to have let the GSM Guild get away with it.

Agree.

Not only gave away a source of income, but also prevented a rise in the price of GSM handsets, making CDMA less competitive.

No wonder GSM has held the line for years after it should have been toast.

Revision on an old line. "GSM is toast" should be "GSM was toast".

Assuming the patents in question are Q's how will this affect the patent counting scheme of NOK? I doubt they are including them. Also, if they could not make GPRS and EDGE work without Q how are we to believe they have improved significantly their patent position since 2001?
