Just got off the phone with CELL IR department. They were extremely helpful and welcomed my call to ask about the recent rumor on Yahoo/MF / SI (or wherever). The company stated that while there were some layoffs on November 13th, they were mostly warehouse workers and administrative staff. NO, THE COO/PRESIDENT DID NOT RESIGN AND IS STILL EMPLOYED AT CELL!!! Just FYI, it sounded as though they monitor this and other chat discussions on CELL. I would recommend that if anyone hears of a rumor or whatever that they call the company. Best Regards, and Happy Thanksgiving Grabs PS: thanks Susan.

More good news for CELL: Wednesday November 25 2:43 PM ET Sanyo begins digital cell phone shipments to U.S. TOKYO (Reuters) - Sanyo Electric Co Ltd (Nasdaq:SANYY - news) said today it had begun shipping digital cell phones under the Narrow-band Code Division Multiple Access (N-CDMA) format to the United States. Sanyo agreed with U.S. cell phone operator Sprint PCS in September to cooperate in selling phones, a company spokesman said. It earlier agreed with U.S. phone distributor Brightpoint Inc (Nasdaq:CELL - news) to market Sanyo cell phones in the U.S. market. Sanyo aims to sell 400,000 to 500,000 cell phones in the United States annually through the two marketing channels, the spokesman said. I saw on Bloomberg that they estimate that CELL will move around 200-300k phones for Sanyo in 1999. More volume, I love it! Grabs
