  Three interesting scenarios for neutrino mixing, i.e., (i) small-large mixing
scenario, (ii) nearly bi-maximal mixing scenario and (iii) three-flavor
oscillation scenario, are analyzed in connection with three possible
assignments of the maximal CP-violating phase after spontaneous symmetry
breaking of SO(3) in a model with gauged SO(3) lepton flavor symmetry. As a
consequence, it is found that the scenario (ii) is more reliable to be resulted
in reconciling both solar and atmospheric neutrino data. Though three Majorana
neutrino masses in all scenarios can be nearly degenerate, in the scenarios
(ii) and (iii) masses of the neutrinos are allowed to be large enough to play a
significant cosmological role and in the scenario (i) the fraction
$\Omega_{\nu}/\Omega_{m}$ is bounded to be $\Omega_{\nu}/\Omega_{m} < (4-10)%$
for $\Omega_{m} = (1.0-0.4)$ and $h=0.6$.
