As far as I know, Nokia designed their own CDMA chips themselves
instead of using ones from Qualcomm like everyone else.  Consequently 
they are unlikely to use the Qualcomm diagnostics protocol :-)  The
good news is that they are likely to use an AT command based
protocol very similar to GSM phones.  You can use the Samsung
phones as an example of how to do AT based protocols.  (I also
really need to get the GSM phone I was loaned working as well 
so documenting how to do an AT command based phone as you go
along would be really useful ...)

There is plenty of code to look at and a dev-docs directory
with some documentation.  The most useful skill is being able
to eyeball hexdumps, and use the analyser.  If you use Windows,
you can record another program talking to your phone using
portmon and then view that in the BitPim analyser.

Additionally I recommend reading the archives for this list
as far back as you can as pretty much every question has
been asked in the past :-)
