There have been many comments saying that Nokia is jealous of Apples success with the iphone, who wouldnt be with that amount of sales?
Regardless this does not give apple the right to rip off Nokias patents without paying loyalties, PAY UP APPLE, you's arent Robin Hood coz you steal from everyone and give to yourselves lol
No wonder your profits are so high, use other peoples technology and charge far too much for your product! lol

40 other companies are already paying for the use of these patents, includung all the major manufacturers (Samsung,LG,SE,Motorola,HTC,RIMM,Huawei,ZTE). Nokia also pays these companies when they are using their technologies (mainly Samsung, SE and Motorola). Apple has very little to offer others which means it has to pay in full without the chance of cross-licencing its own technology to others. If Apple would make a CDMA phone it would have to pay mainly Qualcomm for the use of those patents beause Qualcomm is the biggest patentholder in that technology. Actually they would have to pay Qualcomm much more than they now will have to pay Nokia for each handset they make using Nokia's patents. Patents are important to ensure enough R&D is made, otherwise it wouldbe pointless to spend money developing new things if it would be free to steal it.

good one nokia, sue them for every penny you can, hopefully enough to force the idiotphone company out of business. i mean it was never an original device in any way, just an apple playing catch up same as they did with mp3 player which is one of the worst for sound quality. better to be rid of them completely i think, or they will just keep infringing other companies as they belive that because they're not ms they can get away with it.

[deleted post]The iPhone isn't a camera phone it's a smartphone, like the E71 (3.2 megapixel), E75 3.2, E63 2, HTC Magic 3, BB Bold 2, BB Storm 3 etc.
So why is it alright for these phones to have the same or lower camera's?
The iPhone 3GS has VGA video recording @ 30fps, this matches all Nokia phone's currently on the market, has the N900 been released yet or is it another delayed release?

deep space bar, 23 Oct 2009remember court takes very long depending on the situationIt's like a poker game.
Nokia and Apple have been in negotiations over these patents for over a year, Apple doesn't agree with the price Nokia wants.
Nokia decided to force the issue with a court case.
Apple is holding, waiting to call.
The courts will decide if Nokia is bluffing or holding a strong hand.
Apple might fold before the case reaches court.

Questions like these are in highly specialized and technical areas of law and are way beyond the comments that have been posted here.
The big winners out of this will be the lawyers who will be set for a long trial if the case ever reaches court.
Until then under the presumption of innocence Apple hasn't stolen anything off Nokia or used any of their technology, that's for a court to decide.

Maybe they will rely on prior art, were the Nokia patents granted on an obvious technology at the time the patents were granted?
Apple is a computer company their laptops and PC's have wifi, they make the Airport Express, the iPod touch has WiFi, when Apple adopted OSX as the operating system for the iPhone what makes Nokia's claims about WiFi different to what Apple had already done in their other products?
Which chips are Apple using for the iPhone?
Qualcomm is one of the largest companies in the mobile industry but they don't make phones, Nokia lost in court when they stole Qualcomm's technology so they had to develop their own which no doubt is where these patents come from.
