Hmmm. I'm still not convinced about this display business. Is this really something Nokia needs to be involved with?

Three concept models of Nokia's W-CDMA phones have been featured in recent articles: from Time Magazine to Financial Times to Kauppalehti. They are flat oblongs with color screens covering about 70% of the phone surface. Some have a keypad, some not; nobody knows which is the model Nokia will choose for the initial production run. Finnish newspapers are reporting that four UMTS licenses are auctioned soon. The target date for start of Finnish W-CDMA operation is March 2001... which is reported to be the same month when the W-CDMA is expected to become operational in Japan.
