Ok, we have two losers suing each other. Don't make much difference. Both will be dead in the water in a few years. RIM will probably goes down before end of next year.

Awesome. "Patents: The Innovation Stifling System" in action. What a great system for consumers, workers, and... wait, no one other than a bunch of greedy jackasses.

[citation][nom]murzar[/nom]Nokia, you too? Why are large corporate losers acting like bullies when they fail miserably?[/citation]
If you ask me, the new Lumia is quite a success within its price range in the smartphone world.

Even RIM didn't argue against the patents themselves, but whether a previous licencing deal covered their use. Pretty much everyone else thought it didn't.
