Motorola were the ones among those with satellite phones, everything they did, was for army at the beginning. Nokia, on the other hand, concentrated more on people. Gsm is way bigger then you think, and was not invented just so, by a company. Nokia made the first gsm call possible, not motorola. Also, Europe was the first continent with this network, not America. http://www.gsmhistory.com/who_created-gsm/
        Now, shut up, lay low;).

                        samsung users are just like apple users. just pretent to know all about their crap and show it to others. (iphones and samsungs has a letter "s" with their model names. it represents simply for "stupid".

                          There should be an international law to bill Samsung extra and not under 1 billion dollar of fine for cases like these.
                          Stop supporting this lying, stealing, cheating company by buying its products!

Innovative means to actually spend money in research, not just steal the researches of others who spent years and billions to make their ideas come true. Patents are for what? Do you know how much money spent Nokia for the gsm-network to bring it to life only? Would you let your money and time of research to some a**h*** just so, just for free? What is this? Newly, is good to just wait for others to innovate, cause they are opportunists? We just eat their ideas with better marketing? "This lazy opportunists, they know nothing but innovating. Let them spend time and money, we will just get them when it's done. Spend two dollars and 3 cents to make them work for us, then 3000000000 on marketing and hey, we worked our brains off. Their lazy a** should work harder, we are the champs?" Who is lazy here? Do you even hier yourself?
