Nokia to Supply CDMA Phones for $165 Mln to Telefonica Celular Helsinki, June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Nokia Oyj, the world's No. 1 cellular phone maker, said it will supply phones worth $165 million to Telefonica Celular, a Brazilian mobile phone operator. The phones, the 6180 and 5180 series, are based on the so- called Code Division Multiple Access system. Deliveries will start this month. ''To guarantee quality and customer service efficiency we will continue to look for high quality partners such as Nokia,'' said Paulo Cesar Texeira, operations vice president at Telefonica Celular in a statement. Last week, Bell Atlantic Mobile, the wireless division of Bell Atlantic Corp., delivered a snub to Nokia when it said it would buy 1 million Motorola Inc. digital wireless phones and accessories from the second-largest cellular phone maker. Nokia shares rose 2.05 euros, or 3.0 percent, to 71.05 in Helsinki. Jun/01/ 99 8:23

GSM Toast> PacBell Drops StarTac Phones LOS ANGELES (AP) - Motorola Inc.'s (NYSE:MOT - news) StarTac cellular phones have been plagued by severe technical glitches, prompting Pacific Bell Wireless to quietly stop selling the popular phones for several months. Motorola said the problems - which include dropped calls and the phone abruptly shutting off - are limited to the StarTac 7000 model, which uses digital technology known as global system for mobile communications, or GSM. PacBell Wireless, the largest GSM carrier in the country, and Motorola refused to disclose exactly how many of the phones were affected. Neither company would say how many model 7000s are in use. The companies also never told customers about the problems and only admitted the problems to customers who complained. PacBell and Motorola officials said they have worked closely to fix the problems by replacing the phones' software when customers bring them in for service. ''We're taking this very seriously, and we've taken steps to make sure that StarTac customers have a phone that will perform up to par,'' said PacBell Wireless vice president Steve Krom. Motorola, meanwhile, has upgraded PacBell Wireless' entire inventory of StarTac 7000s with the new software, said Denise Gibson, vice president and general manager for Motorola's U.S. strategic operations. The problems come as Motorola tries to regain market share lost to rivals Nokia and Ericsson when phones shifted from analog technology to digital. The StarTac has been a key part of Motorola's rebound.

Caxton, hey buddy, are we going to be neighbors pretty soon? Aren't the internment camps pretty close to Folsom. Come visit and bring me some Sushi. Seriously, I was trying to figure out where this spy thing is going this weekend, pertaining only to my pocket book. Looks like the next show down is going to be MFN extension. There is no exact date but it could be any time this month. Chicken little just can't see any possibility of a positive outcome without some battling. Would CDMA be used as a pawn or would it be limited to BA, LOR, MOT, LU, and the bigger names? The sabres are already drawn and ready to rattle on both sides. May be we can ask Maurice to loan us Xena for a little peace keeping. Ramsey
