The pattern I see is something along the lines of the computer industry.

Computers aren't fashion accessories.

So do you think we missed on the hyper growth because Nokia delayed the move from GSM to WCDMA? If Nokia signed a deal with QCOM five years ago than I think we would have seen a much faster appreciation in the stock price earlier. Now since the move from CDMAone to 3G took over 9 years, the stock really never saw the growth that we had expected.

So in a way Nokia won by delaying the progress of 3G?

just thinking out load :)

I'm looking toward the upgrade not within what serves now as high end, but from the massive <3G market. High volume at lower margin, continuous heavy cash flow to support opportunities for intelligent, hopefully brilliant innovation for billions of consumers, not commodity potato races. That's been part of Q's presentation for years, and makes sense for operators, consumers, vendors and shareholders... if the vision is actually there to execute on. The pessimistic take is that it's not, which is certainly defensible, but fundamentally... pessimistic.

...there is going to be less reason for people to upgrade their handsets in the future...That puts a large onus for growth in the industry on devices besides handsets.

"...communications, computing, consumer electronics, productivity, Web services and entertainment....we are positioning ourselves well to compete in those spaces with new capabilities on multimedia, processors and wireless technologies aimed at these different areas," Jacobs said
