Dave, Hard to believe that Tero is biased :-) Couldn't resist responding to the "swipe" at Ericsson's "ugly" phones. Bad day, but you guys "hung in there" . Regards, Mardy.

I'm sure I don't understand what this bias discussion is about. Is there some specific company towards which I'm supposed to be biased? I'm a bit startled about this view. Dave... the whole point of having independent market research firms do market share studies is that they are independent. Is there an investor out there who actually trusts what the corporations say about their own market share? May I remind people of the classic Motorola "we are not losing market share" line from 1995-1998 and the recent "we are not losing market share" line from Ericsson from 1998? I wouldn't actually call Chris and Sven baldfaced liars... let's just say they have been deliberately mendacious. It seems to be a part of the job. Tero
