Research In Motion is fighting back against the latest allegations that its BlackBerry mobile e-mail device infringes on patents.
Wireless e-mail vendor Visto has prevailed in a long-running patent infringement suit against rival Seven Networks, prompting a new legal challenge against Research In Motion and potentially strengthening Visto's position in a pending spat with Microsoft.
A workaround by Research In Motion, designed to avoid infringing patents held by intellectual property company NTP, is simply a negotiating tactic to help the BlackBerry maker settle out of court, according to analyst group Gartner.
BlackBerry maker Research In Motion on Thursday announced details of how its new software workaround, designed as a backup if US courts impose an injunction later this month, will be released to customers.
If Research In Motion survives its patent dispute with NTP in the United States it will most likely have to repeat the saga with Visto, which claims to have an equally strong case against the Blackberry maker.
Mobile professionals who need a powerful but sleek messaging-centric smartphone will be well-served by the Nokia E71; just be prepared to pay a price.
Nokia's E51 combines business functionality with a well appreciated serving of style, making it a highly desirable phone.
The slick P900 smart phone gets a QWERTY keyboard and a few noteworthy additions.
