NEWS Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, said it discovered the fault in the cdma2000 technology and admitted that if the glitch had not been found then current phones would not have worked on the future networks. A Nokia spokesman said the bug affected existing models including the 2100, 5100 and 6100 series, which are all very popular in the US. However, he added that the phones will not be withdrawn. Both Sprint and Verizon Wireless have indicated their intention to upgrade their networks from CDMA to the cdma2000 standard allowing customers to have high-speed multi-media services including mobile internet and downloadable video clips.
