Yes Lars, but Nokia didn't understand what they had, that it had huge potential but people were not interested in surfing the web with the primitive GSM speeds. In order to capitalize on this device and cement their wireless future, they would have to get rid of their strange obsession for GSM, something they just couldn't do. Instead of spending billions and billions on trying to steal CDMA and develop some form that would preserve the claim of GSM still being alive, they should have been spending that money and their influence on building out multitudes of CDMA networks and getting to 1x and EVDO speeds as fast as possible, as Qcom was begging them to do. If they had no one would have ever heard of the IPhone, Nokia's stock would be approaching 100, and they would king of wireless for a long time.
