Nokia 2170 phone for Sprint PCS - any users ? This is an investment board, but I thought there may be some phone advise for a current GSM user who wants to switch and try out this CDMA thing but still wants to keep using the investment in Nokia accessories. So how bad is the Nokia vs Qualcomm/Sony phone ? <VBG>

"Initially, Wireless Knowledge will build off from the staff and facilities of Qualcomm's existing Omnitracs network operations center in San Diego that controls wireless logistics and dispatching systems for freight companies." Message 6312127 I claim the "Told you so!" prize. Also, no plagiarism please! "WirelessWeb[TM]" was coined there too! A week before your post. Winn's Wonderful Wireless Web! WWWW! winner.com It would have been nice for people to think of QUALCOMM as an internet stock. Although sales might not be great, Eudora is a popular email method. The Q! could treat it as an advertising medium. Every time somebody uses it, they see QUALCOMM on the screen. That is worth a lot of money. So, treat it as an advertising department and count how many viewings of QUALCOMM on the screen that the 10 million Eudora users see. Then add that in to the valuation of it before they let it die on the vine. QUALCOMM needs to think brand image. Coca Cola, Castrol and others spend a fortune on brand image and getting the name out there. Eudora is carrying the name into the Web space [current jargon I just picked up]. Mqurice
