    These companies are trying to play big bank take little bank. They've all got a big bank account so none will settle but some will be paid.These are just scare tactics to prevent smaller companies from competing.

    I've been bearing about these companies suing each other for a couple years already with apple suing others to, but when are we going to hear who won. Never hear if anyone have won these fights.

    Can someone please explain, because I don't understand how you can patent a swipe "gesture". Whats next, Oscar Myer gonna file suit against Ballpark hot dogs, give me a break. Some ideas are just to broad for anyone to make claim to. As far as Nokia making an Iphone killer, I doubt it, they'd have to pass Android first. Android does the same thing iphone can, but they're far behind as far as apps goes and thats where Iphone stands out, they have much more developers support.Take away the apps and what do you have, and ordinary unsmart phone. Apps Matter.

    let's face it NOKIA can never be the biggest phone giant any more. they have depleted phone technologies that cannot compete with the newer tech phone companies. the best they can do is to sue based on their old patents and hope for a large settlement.

    That's really true..that's the thing I dislike about Apple products. Hardware specs are just average...but they only do well because of the apps, that made them look real cool and 'powerful'

    Well if you take away the programs from a laptop then what do you have?..... You see without the technological capabilities of a device then it can be known as primitive not programs or "apps" being disabled because what makes a smart phone is what's inside not what's writtin on its advanced hard drive ;] think and do reasherch.

    Geez...All these law suits flying around...But I wonder who did originate some of these things? I think it is good to share but it is nice to know who came up with the idea and who first imeplemented it.

    In replay to all those that praise the iPhone: The iPhone is all about the software. Comparing it's hardware to the Nokia N8, the iPhone is just not up to the task. The hardware on the Nokia N8 is great and it's only downgrade is the software. Nokia should focus on the Symbian: eighter reinvent it or upgrade to a new one. Stop recycling the Symbian! It's not a phoenix bird and it won't rebirth from it's ashes!

    I just don't get why everybody has to sue everybody. Nokia are never gonna compete with the Iphone regardless of its specs and any patents that may or may not have been infringed. The Nokia N8 wins in the hardware stakes but the Iphone has the software support and a very faithful following.My suggestion to Nokia and Apple is, stop fighting each other, put your technologies together and make us a phone to kill all others. Then both of you sit back and reap the profits.I know "you may say I'm a dreamer".
