Wireless data services are too expensive. Also, they are too complicated to set-up. In 1998 I was happily connecting with my Nokia 8110 to the corporate network and roaming across the Europe.
Five years later I have great difficulties with my 6310i. It does not like to communicate with my laptop running under Win2000. Infrared is not working dispate many installation attempts and patches, cable connection works sometimes after swapping com ports with my Palm's hotsynch, fax-feature is an hopeless attempt. So, I just simply talk and try to find a hot spot to get the things done. This seems to be a common problem with Nokia nowadays. They are not a proper software company. I had so much trouble with my Communicator the last summer that I had to switch back to Palm. One simply could not trust the device. Either it will crash down or otherwise mess the data. I had enough of formatting the damn thing every fortnight or so.
3 % of the 6000 IT-companies that got funded in the late 1990's will survive. That's only 200 and even on those ones one has to do manoveurs to turn them into profitable businesses. Sounds like VAR with 95% confidence level reversed...
