Yes I have found out that there are big names out there that can be value traps.

Personally, I found NOK and CSCO to be value (with NOK I should have really heeded the warnings of others on this thread and also my own analysis, but I guess if you don't get burned too badly you live and learn).

Don't mean to whinge, but I am still finding it difficult to wait out and see if my value ideas work. I agree that 3 to 5 years is a reasonable peg to measure to, but it doesn't change the fact that you still have to suffer the pschological trauma from time to time!
