The way to judge a winner is by quarterly earnings and market share reports. I own a QCOM phone and really like the CDMA system. But it sure appears to me that QCOM is not executing well, certainly not compared to NOK.A. My QCOM phone is clunky compared to the NOK.A models I see around town. And I can't use my phone hardly anywhere outside of Houston (and yes, I do have a dual mode phone). You guys love to talk about specs on this thread. But I'm into making money, and that is typically determined by profit and market share growth. And it pays to know what products the consumer prefers. MIKE

<<Michael, I find it really interesting you Tout Nok.a in all your posts but never have you posted on the Nok.a thread. Whats that all about?>> I find it also interesting that the NOK.A thread is filled with QCOM supporters arguing obscure technical points. There is certainly room for both to succeed, but I find it disconcerting that the company with the supposedly better system isn't the leader. Of course MOT and ERICY are even worse off. And QCOM does have a fairly decent chart pattern. MIKE
