You don't seem rational on this topic or about your future.

You need to LEARN about Apple's iPhone in every way you can! there is no
other choice at this point. Look at what happened to every other Music
Player, Apple is going to DO THE SAME thing to the Cell Industry.

So complain or accept, those are your 2 choices.

Fortune has a great article today of what is going to happen throughout
the World:

Great READING!

According to Key, it started with an early morning call on a wet
Saturday morning from his boss, Peter Erskine.

² ŒWe¹ve had a call from Apple,¹ said Peter. ŒThey want us to be in
Cupertino in California on Tuesday¹.² Key, who runs the UK¹s largest
mobile network operator, boasting 18m customers, didn¹t have to ask why.

Key showed up at Apple headquarters that Tuesday morning with two
executives from Telefonica, O2¹s Spanish owner. They were ushered into
Jobs¹ office. He was wearing his trademark jeans, black top, and
trainers.

²He¹s a hugely impressive guy, hugely impressive guy,² beams Key,
remembering his first encounter with the legendary Apple founder. ²He
clearly knows his stuff in a level of detail that for someone at that
level is mindblowing, and he has a great incisiveness in terms of what
the customer wants and needs in products.²

Jobs and his henchmen wanted a single network partner but still
didn¹t know how they were going to launch the iPhone in the UK; unlike
Key, once Jobs had shown him the device.

²I played with it for two minutes and just thought, Œoh my God, this
is leagues above anything I¹ve ever seen before¹,² he gushes (to be
fair, so do most people who¹ve seen the device). ²If you see the photo
functionality, watch videos on it on YouTube, or the weather, or just
see the threading on the texting, or the visual voicemail.²

Apple¹s representatives hammered out the deal with Key¹s team in Slough
the following Saturday ²over Marks & Spencer¹s sandwiches.² Key disputes
as ³rubbish² reports that O2 struck what one competitor called a ³madly
money-losing deal,² signing over to Cupertino as much as 40% of monthly
revenues. ³²It¹s sour grapes,² he said. ³We don¹t sign bad deals.² He
did not offer any contract details, but said he was confident O2 would
make money over the life of the contract, during which he expects 3/4 of
British iPhone customers to come from rival networks.

Everyone in the CELL industry needs to LEARN everything is now DIFFERENT.

APPLE CONTROLS the Cell market now, so learn how they operate or go
under.

Nokia is now a weak pawn in Apple's game, so are all other vendors.

Nobody can compete against Apple in the cell game, they simply don't
have the MASSIVE experience in the phone market that Apple has. Apple
STARTED over 30 years ago with "phones". FREE PHONE CALLS THROUGHOUT the
WORLD. Plus they have the most experience in building small devices,
Nokia and others don't have that skill.

Trust me...... SELL all non Apple Cell Stocks...

You have been warned!
