The handset market is entering a new growth period spurred by the arrival of an increasing number of mass volume products with colour and multimedia messaging capability, all enriching the customer experience.

Current visibility suggest overall market volume for 2002 will reach our earlier eexpectations of 400 million units sold.

We have had to review our volume numbers upward month-by- month. I have a funny feeling next year will be another good growth year.

The slowdown in Europe and the U.S. has not affected the way we look at China.

In a three- to five-year time span, we will see a tremendous impact, with the mobility and Internet coming together.

The cooperation we have in training personnel will increase to the number of millions we'll invest.

We felt very strongly that this digital technology would really take the industry.

It was pretty emotional to prepare to take the decision (to sell assets) to the board. Everybody would say, 'You know, you're taking our heart away and selling that. Why didn't you start with something else?'

The first quarter seems to be the bottom of the industry, ... Unforunately, it's been a slower recovery in our view than what we saw a few months ago... that's because the rebound of the economy has been slower.
