Qualcomm Inc (QCOM)

I think this matter should be viewed more in line with NOK's goals. Over on the SI mod board there is an article stating the JV would have a market share of 20.6% wich is the same as Samsungs which is the market leader. It also states that it is a global maket share and that there is room to grow in NA. Okay then, it seems that NOK's goal is to creat a JV with a starting off point in MS that it can grow to equal their MS in GSM. Recent articles stated GSM would taper off over the next two years. I believe it was stated that Q is making low end chips for NOK in India. They also are using ODM's to secure EV-DO phones with Q chips. Given that it seems natural that the JV would use Q chips. But lets forget that and try and figure out what NOK is doing for NOK's own interest. Is this part of the stategy to maintain MS through a generational transition?
