BrianH, thanks for all the good urls. What is all this adulation about Ramsey making a political diatribe about Asia? Good grief, this is the holy leader of jihads against politics in investments. Maybe you realize now Ramsey, with KGB vs Bliss, Korean speculators going bust, Al Gore being a Qualcomm salesman, Ericsson, NTT and other political shenanigans over wider CDMA etc etc that politics IS important to the dollars in your pockets. But the indignity should be complete - no skiving off and handling your political dirty laundry by email Ramsey. Get to work, cut and paste and fill up three SI pages, with *off topic* at the top as a fig leaf for your embarrassment. By popular demand. I wanna see you grovel in politics in public. In the meantime Ramsey, did you sell back out of Qualcomm after the jump since you are still nervous? Chicken? Good getting back in when you did and I reckon that squares us up - I claim some credit by taking the opposite bet which must have made you nervous enough to back the quarterly results which came right in as expected. Did you ever really doubt? "We are glad that Nokia and Ericsson are ready and willing to compromise on a single standard," spokesman Reiner Schoenrock told Reuters. "Siemens is also willing to compromise." What a joke! You bet Ericsson is willing to compromise. Vaporware versus Bill F's cdmaMafia with 10 million cdmaOne foot soldiers already out there. Funny that all those cdmaOne handsets by Nokia and Motorola keep on being announced but don't arrive in the shops. Okay, sorry Valueman, so Nokia now has them available, but there was a long interlude of here they are, here they are, here they are...well soon. Samsung's fumbling attempts in the direction of Anita [TM] look good. But now, with PureVoice and video being enabled as attachments to emails in Eudora, Qualcomm really is starting to look as though they might be a major Web merchant. I'm starting to feel sorry for Microsoft! Their whole business is too narrowly focussed and trying to get into content and entertainment won't work for them. At least Qdog is off their leg. Tom, GSM and Ericsson are selling lots of expansions. Not many new systems. Having dug themselves into GSM, it is hard for an operator to drop it all and change. They'll go on with their expansion and maybe in 3 years overlay with W-cdmaOne, or simply cdmaOne. Mqurice - let's hear it Ramsey. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
