I wish the channels partners I dealt with had your expectations

We shipped new products from China (Funai) and Taiwan and had product on shelves for our partners within one week with products considerably bigger than a little itty bitty phone size device.

The only time EVER we shipped a new model (first order batch) by boat is if it were simply a refresh of a current product.

Mind you, the lack of real updates suggest Nokia did perhaps ship by boat. Got to love it!
