Jim, The Chicago Trib article and your comments suggest a Motorola teaming-up on the level of 3G-WCDMA. In my mind it does not represent such an alliance. They appear to be joining forces for the operating system of the information appliance itself - i.e. without reference to the air interface (CDMA2000 or WCDMA) that this wireless appliance runs on. To that end it merely represents a position Motorola is taking vis-a-vis MSFT's Windows-CE, 3COM's Palm Pilot, and Symbian/ Psion. As an aside, at this juncture I would wish to propose that in the future members of this thread ought to refer to ERICY's WCDMA as ERICY's "WD40". It occurs to me that by now it is evident to all members of this thread (though not yet to all members of the Wall St. fraternity and public at large) that ERICY has no technical, legal, moral, ethical, or creative role with "anything CDMA". The words ERICCSON and CDMA when strung together represent a technical oxymoron. Hence the moral imperative that we as enlightened members of this thread commence use of the more appropriate nomenclature "ERICY WD40". Afterall,just like the real stuff that comes in a bottle ERICY's "CDwhatever" is just that same old slick, re-cycled,hyped-up, snakeoil, in a bottle. regards, John
