Gorth Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The market remained "challenging" and that it needed to do more to meet customer demands for new products. Translation: We made some poor business decisions and are now the laughing stock in the mobile phone industry. Perhaps it's just payback time for ze germans. Didn't they lose astronomical amounts of Euros when BMW tried their hand at taking over english car manufacturers ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

LoneWolf16 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I have a sudden inexplicable urge to eat at Wendy's.
