Comments on: Nokia and Qualcomm might stop fighting thanks to AT&T? http://www.intomobile.com/2007/02/22/nokia-and-qualcomm-might-stop-fighting-thanks-to-att.html Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:06:50 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Ricky Cadden http://www.intomobile.com/2007/02/22/nokia-and-qualcomm-might-stop-fighting-thanks-to-att.html/comment-page-1/#comment-12034 Ricky Cadden Thu, 22 Feb 2007 22:47:16 +0000 http://www.intomobile.com/2007/02/22/nokia-and-qualcomm-might-stop-fighting-thanks-to-att.html#comment-12034 There's a few problems with this article: 1. (and this one is glaring) They state that "AT&T's Cingular Wireless, which already uses GSM mobile phones from Nokia." Fact is, there's 3 Nokias currently available from Cingular, as was pointed out in my rant a while back. 2 are EOL, and the 3rd is coming close. And there's no replacements in sight. 2. All this means is that Nokia is getting closer to either writing off the entire NA market (since they'd basically HAVE to use Qualcomm chips) or making a deal with Qualcomm, which they desperately don't want to do, cause it'll involve some sacrifice. 3. Nokia loves DVB-H. Which leaves only Sprint and T-mobile. There’s a few problems with this article:
