Vow, is (was) it that easy? "They (Nokia) had only to solder a few wires and chips together and hire some Estonian plastic injection moulders and assemblers at distress prices after the USSR collapse." I guess Motorola has had then lots of problems with its soldering technology when missing the digital GSM phone market. And I thought that Motorola has the best brains in US (maybe they should hire some from Nokia). And where are all the advanced communicators (as Nokia Communicator 2000 introduced three years ago) from other companies. Have Nokia's products won all these awards and got all the recognition just for their manufacturing technology? "Nokia 6100, the best wireless phone on the market" says Businessweek, August 10 issue. Well, I will cancel my subscription. And then why didn't Qualcomm enter the GSM market years ago. They could have hired just few engineering trainees from any US university to do that part time when developing CDMA. And now we would have mighty Qualcomm that would dominate GSM/TDMA and CDMA market in the whole universe. We all would be rich.
