Apple is ready to fight Nokia

has a better chance of lighting a match in a tornado than winning this one -they are utterly outclassed yet too arrogant and complacent to even see it.

... would you not fight? They won't have to pay more if they lose.

It'll just be quietly settled for pennies on the dollar like these things always do.

Slow news days lead to "the sky is falling" over exaggerations.

Apple is outclassed by Nokia? Even if that were true in some way and not just some silly comment by a confused inquirer reader... I mean you read the inquirer, how could you not be confused by reality?

What does your comment even mean? Complacent? What are you smoking? Or are you just drowning in your own tears that you bought a obsolete piece of hardware?

Do some research before posting inane comments.

It's not fair, Apple is being sued left and right, I feel sorry for th...no wait...

IN YOUR FACE APPLE HAHA.

That is all.

Was it your mother who read the inquirer to you.

I thought the majority of the iPhone's innards were off-the-shelf parts, Apple don't make the CPU or the wireless chipsets, they just solder them to their board with some third party flash memory. So shouldn't Nokia be suing the people who make the parts?

I suspect many of the parts Apple use are also used by Nokia too, which makes this all the more puzzling.

i cant believe it according to apple and their demented fanboy's

apple created eveything they are the leader in all technology, every copies them.

so it must be lies

Nick Farrell to the stand-up, who we are confident will prove defensive to the point of woe-betide of
being Your Worships.
Arguably, why, he invented the notion. Bring it on! Where is he?
What? Do we need to get a bench warrant?

I don't think the "patents system" will or should be maintained the way it exists right now for much longer. The "that's mine and not yours" deal is way to childish, slows down evolution and the forward-going of life.

Oh come on now, if there were no patent laws then Nokia wouldn't have had a reason to invent these technologies anyway. There's got to be an incentive to invent something if you want "forward-going of life" (maybe progress was the word you were looking for?)

Well, Nokia must make money somewhere.
They are losing market share left, right and centre. Have to try and make money somehow. Patent trolling works very nicely these days. But if you can’t beat them, sue them for your ideas you never used!

Yep, you are correct. Nokia does not use GSM, UMTS and wireless LAN (WLAN) anywhere. It is obviously the case "i wont use it and i wont let you use it". Get a glass of water fanboy.

If the other mobile device manufacturers are paying Nokia for the use of this tech, they must have invested some time to see if Nokia really did own the IP on the tech. So if they still paid up, then Nokia must genuinely own it. So what is it that make Apple think that they're all wrong and that they're right? I think it's a case of suck it and see. They wanted to see if they could get away with it, and now it sucks, as they're found out. Ha ha!

Those retard fanboys think that Apple really invent anything?

Apple are just the same as Micro$oft; they don't invent anything, they just copy and steal ideas from somebody else. When they get sued they whine about patents; when they sue, patents are fine.
Iphones were not the first handset to have touch screens; and OSX is based on FreeBSD. Yes, just like in FREE, GRATIS. That's what they want, everything GRATIS. Ha, Ha, Ha....

Funny enough It seems as though these childish quarrels over what belongs to whom are all happening mostly in the world of technology and know where else really. It makes me feel nauseous every time I here about someone complaining that somebody stole someone's idea. :( Maybe both sides are doing something wrong? I can imagine it getting messy trying to figure out whether or not a patent is being infringed upon.

I can't say it any more plainly then this, Apple is screwed. Ignoring the fact that Nokia is the single biggest manufacturer of cell phones on the planet and one of, if not the biggest, R&D group for cell phone tech you have to just look at the history of the iPhone to know they're screwed. I mean it's launch was horrible, it had to have a massive price drop in only 3 months, the scandal over bricking unlocked units with firmware updates, the IP battle over the name, the complaints over the battery, etc.... In otherwords while it's been selling fairly well since they released the 3G models it's actually a bigger PR nightmare then the Newton was and when Nokia wins this battle odds are it will go the same way ie the way of the dodo. Fortunately there are plenty of better phones which can be used on basically any service manufactured by HTC.

Give me a break!

Exactly what features, apart from a touch screen which at its launch was unique, set the iPhone apart from phones made by any other manufacturers?

It certainly wasn't the build quality. Nor was it the battery. The accelerometer was also nothing new. They didn't even support MMS or bluetooth correctly, and yet the iPhone carried a much higher price tag than Nokia phones with many more features.

The only thing that makes the iPhone worth getting is the fact that there is a store full of applications made by all the people who bought into the hype.

Without those people, the iPhone would have been relegated to the overpriced rubbish heap where it belongs.

I'll take my N95 8GB any day over a piece of overpriced Apple garbage.

And my next will also be - guess - a Nokia!
