robert i suppose in a massive corporation you have many departments.

sometimes there work against each other, but the ultimate goal is to sell. the people whos job to market this phone had to get something going to sell this device, if they couldnt get any networks or middle men(eg mobile phones direct)on board no crimbo bonus for them.

nokia will not make on this phone and they knew that from the beginig, in all purpose from the top boys at nokia this is R&D, and the stance from there spokes people is that it was meant for a niche market. that doesnt stop the marketers tho.
