vg_future: Nokia Is selling both WCDMA phones and infrastructure From Nokia's 4th qtr 2004 report (the 6630 is a WCDMA phone):

During the fourth quarter, we started shipping the Nokia 6630, our latest 3G smartphone, and the initial response has been positive with more than 30 3G operators including it in their offering. In Western Europe, the Nokia 6230 was the top-selling phone in the industry for the fourth quarter - a first for a camera phone. Of the 36 devices we announced in 2004, the majority had cameras and nearly all had color screens. We also introduced additional designs with ten new clamshell models, in addition to flip-open messenger devices and the Nokia 9300 smartphone for enterprises. During 2004, we continued to be the clear market leader in the GSM megapixel market and in smartphones, which combines a handheld computer with a mobile phone.

Nokia's infrastructure sales and profitability in the fourth quarter exceeded our expectations due to robust year-end spending by operators combined with our shortened delivery lead times. Profitability was also positively impacted by the successful resolution of a prior customer delivery issue as well as a product mix favoring high-margin products. In Asia-Pacific, we emerged as a clear leader in 3G WCDMA.

In our infrastructure business, 2004 was a pivotal year. We significantly expanded our presence in India and Russia, and entered new markets in the Middle East and Africa. In the second half, the pace of commercial 3G launches intensified in more developed markets, with the number of subscribers jumping to nearly 16 million by the end of 2004. By the end of the year, we were a supplier to 28 of the 63 commercially launched 3G networks.
