To Tero: Joy. Glad you are having fun. Note one strange thing is that whenever as an investor in Nokia ( which I am proudly BTW) I go to the company news here (a composite of all the news services) the result is "No news". Is Nokia so completely disconnected from the US press barons that this nonsense is not even noticed. Even the great 3rd quarter report was not mentioned. Why? Could Nokia do something about this silence and/or blanks in the "media" here? Assume $$$ placed in the right hands (advertizing revenue [sic.]) would do wonders re this. Seriously, would like to know what is going on re Nokia and a full blank from the press is a bit off putting, no? Best regards. Chaz

"I'm staying for two weeks and so far I like it a lot. Vodka is 70% cheaper than in Finland and there's female mudwrestling on hotel tv. God bless this country. I'm now in Philadelphia and heading for New York next week -these American labs are rolling in dough, it's great to see how much can be done when expenses are not a limit." Tero, expenses are not a limit for a reason. It isn't that the Fed just prints a lot of loot that the Americans are rolling in it. As a clue, have you noticed how my mental stability goes off the rails when the Kleptocrats of Europe start eyeing up The Q! There is a suble psychological difference, which has unfortunately been narrowed as the USA delves deeper into the realms of Big Brother obsession and the total tax level and prosecutions of people like $ill Gates continue. Also they are berserk on Prohibition, but this time they are worried about unfermented plant juice extracts. Like last time it only serves to increase crime, jail numbers, and total deaths as the devilment in people adds to the allure of the forbidden fruit. But I digress. Nokia is making lovely big profits. Doing great technological things. Excellent marketing. I think the Eurocrats will be eyeing them with a view to equitable treatment of all citizens, funding necessary social programs, maintaining fairness and all that stuff. So when you advocate carving up The Q! by stealing the CDMA creation for all to share, you [well, Nokia, L M Ericsson DoCoMo etc] are creating the reason why expenses are a very big limit in Europe. 12% unemployed or some such. Nokia will be hoist by their own petard. Once the religious cranks have dealt to the queers and abortionists, they'll start on the mud wrestlers, then the vodka drinkers. Enjoy your stay. Did you buy an Uzi or Armalite for your visit? Weird? Huh? Maurice PS: Nokia doesn't get mention in the USA for the same reason that the USA didn't react to the Asian crisis for over a year - mostly they don't really understand that there is anywhere else and if there is, they don't matter.

Todays Chicago Tribune has Mot joining forces with Nokia and Ericy in this article. chicagotribune.com This from the article in case it expires. By joining with the two companies, Motorola may be seeking to counter the growing success enjoyed by the new wireless phones launched by Qualcomm Communications, a California upstart, Jubber said. "This places Motorola firmly in the non-Qualcomm camp for standards-setting purposes," Jubber said. Qualcomm's second-generation wireless operating system had been promoted by Motorola originally, but the two became rivals when Qualcomm launched its own line of phone products. Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson may not enjoy teaming up with each other, but they have little choice, analysts said. "We know there must be standards that enable these information devices to interact with each other seamlessly," said Jeffrey Kagan, an Atlanta-based telecommunications analyst. "Customers won't buy them otherwise. "But the real question is whose technologies will be adopted as the standard. That's the question in play right now, and that drives these deals."
