Nokia will even trot out some major companies that have agreed to kick the tires on the new devices - DaimlerChrysler for its German sales force, Pfizer for its Finnish sales force and Ricoh for its French force of copier repairmen.

ACQUITTED. ABDELGHANI MZOUDI, 31, Moroccan electrical-engineering student and the second suspect to stand trial for helping the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers; of charges of accessory to murder and membership in al-Qaeda; in Hamburg, Germany. Mzoudi's former roommate was convicted of the same charges last year, but German prosecutors attributed their failure in this case to Washington's refusal to allow testimony from captured terrorist suspects...
