Here're two of Nokia's new phones for VerizonWireless (cdma2000 EV-DO)

There are more cdma2000 phone on the Nokia USA web site.
Look for model numbers ending in "i".
So, obviously, Nokia hasn't abandoned cdma2000.

How, by taking advantage of revenue they could gain by leveraging
their intellectual property and give stockholders dividends by
producing
W-CDMA chips, or by buying an OFDM patent bearing company, and buying
Bluetooth
and WiFi companies? Qualcomm is aiming to be a behemoth in wireless
(can you blame them?), and is making a lot of money selling wireless
chipsets.

Aren't truly free markets great?

cdma450 demonstrates, even in Europe, that European government policies
can't totally "snuff out" the free market, although a Swedish carrier
who wanted to
offer cdma450 was denied permission to do so by the government. cdma450
is blooming
where it fills a market need. More carriers around the world are
expanding their cdma2000 markets. And, where cdma2000 and W-CDMA
compete head-to-head NTT DoCoMo lost
subscribers due to wireless number portability. (They lost them to
cdma2000 operator
KDDI.)

You accuse him of being the troll? You've demonstrated that you haven't
researched your conjectures and are also indicating that you anti
free-market and pro-government regulation. Why?
