Nokia copies Ericsson; hooks up with Japanese phone maker This is fairly big news. Nokia is combining with Sanyo to create a new CDMA only joint venture. I find this interesting because when I was a Sprint subscriber, I really liked Sanyo phones. The combination of the two companies could create a really attractive product that might bring people to CDMA networks in the US and Canada who otherwise like the Nokia selection on GSM providers.  ¶ 9:54 AM
