I am still stunned by the fact that not a single analyst asked the Nokia presenters one question about the Qualcomm/Nokia dispute or about its possible impact on Nokia, e.g., treble damages This occurred against a backdrop of Nokia conceding it had lost market share in the U.S. Sorry to speculate, but I am guessing that Nokia put the word out to the analysts not to ask any questions on this topic. Does anyone think that questions about the negotiations will not be raised at the upcoming Qualcomm earnings' report?

A helluva lot more than 2 wonder Eric!! That was about the weakest, sappiest retort you've ever posted. (makes me feel really good about my QCOM investment) Jim M.'s prior post of Altman's comments in London describes the FACTS of the matter quite nicely. Simonson is used-car-salesman/snake-in-the-grass if I ever saw one, and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him! Odds of him losing credibility in the investment community and ultimately be offered up as the "scapegoat/sacrificial lamb" are about 50/50 I'd say. Remember, he's American, not a "true Nokian", so perhaps he can be sacrificed if need be ;-) As for the analysts not asking the "real" questions, of course, it's a farce and a sham! I'm sure they were told that if they asked that question, then they'd never get to "ask" another question again, ever, at any future conference call, and we do know that is how the game is played, as it came out in the Enron trial/hearings!! NOK = one pathetic joke of a company

Gotta love this little gem straight from the lips of "Mr. Credible"..... “Nokia believes that Qualcomm's patent portfolio is concentrated in the United States, and that it has few or no alleged UMTS patents in many of the countries in which Nokia has substantial UMTS handset sales. When Qualcomm's early patents become paid-up and royalty-free on April 9, 2007 Qualcomm's share of all patents relevant to Nokia UMTS handsets will significantly decrease", Simonson added. Uuuh, ok Rick, whatever you say..... ;-)
