Nokia has declared that the firm is going to defend  its intellectual property. The  Finnish firm has already launched the case  of  patent infringement against the top mobile manufacturers like HTC, RIM and Viewsonic.

Though, both in Germany and US suits have been filed. However, Finnish firm has assured that litigation action will not be taken.

Chief legal officer, Louise Pentland, commented that  Nokia has all the technology that is needed  for great  mobile devices. More than 40 companies have been licensed essential for our standards. Well, Nokia has said to avoid the  litigation,but this case has been  filed in order end the unauthorized use of the  innovations and  technologies invented by us which are still not widely licensed.

The suits have been  filed  in the Federal District Court of Delaware against  both HTC and Viewsonic.

In Germany,  however the suits include state  against HTC and RIM  particularly in the Regional Court of Dusseldorf.   There were  plenty of allegations  fired at all three major mobile  firms in the Regional Courts in Mannheim.  It seems Nokia is not taking the suits lightly and  total of 45 patent issues have been cited in all the cases.

Nokia has also mentioned the areas where  infringement has occurred such as  hardware capabilities  including  power management,dual function antennas and multi mode radios.  On the software end, these include app stores, dynamic menus, data encryption and retrieval of emails on a mobile.

Pentland  has  mentioned that  most of these  inventions are key to Nokia products.  It  is necessary of the  companies to use their own  innovations thereby respecting our intellectual property. No toleration of the  unauthorized use will be done.

Du to lack of compliance of the O2 to follow the  instructions laid down by  the Nokia for the respective devices  has led to the fallout.

Nokia  has  dismissed O2 as the network operators among the others who are selected to stock the  first range of Windows phone operating system devices.

Sources close to O2 have revealed that  there were  conflicts  between the Finnish firm and  O2 regarding certain criteria  like volume targets, store displays and marketing  campaigns  which could not be agreed by the operators. This instead led to  exclusion  of O2 from the list of operators.

O2 has  recently announced  that  it is  reluctant to pull so much  during the  time when Apple iPhone 5 is also due  for release. O2  has also  stated that currently it is leading  network operator connecting to majority of the iPhone  devices in the UK.

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop on Tuesday  13  attended  dinner with all the  major  network  operators of UK  except O2.   The  latest and the  novel Nokia Windows Phone handset is set to launch at the end of November.

O2  on the  other hand has a different story altogether, the head of retail Richard Baylis  has stated that  he was unaware of  any such news and  if this happens  he will be  more than surprised considering the  long standing relationship with Microsoft.

A close source has revealed  that  O2 are  great at  marketing the handsets by promoting the deals and the plans specifically. They  work in close contact with the manufacturer and send out the message quite well.

However, they have very close relationship with Apple which they cannot compromise with.

Recently unveiled, Sony Mobile Communication has revealed preview of the beta ROM for devices running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The company has also gone ahead and  promised that in future all the Sony Ericsson Xperia phones will get updated to the latest version of Google’s Android operating system.

Sony has  further commented that the latest preview has been designed for the  “advanced developers only”. If you want to check it out you’ll have  first unlock your device’s boot loader  to  give it a chance.  Sony is providing all the  tool to go ahead with  it but at the same time warns about  losing the  warranty of your phone.

This seems quite weird as on the one hand  you are giving it and on the  other taking it back. Well done Sony!

The launch of the beta ROM  is  most interesting  thing for the people who are  highly curious to get the sneak peek rather than a usable  update.

Apps excluded from the update

As the update has yet not passed the Google certification process, regretfully the update will not support assorted Google apps available such as  Gmail. Instead Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not  available as well.

What  is available is the look at the lock screen functionality through which you can control  music and even  use camera app without unlocking.  Add to this new quick dial feature.

With new and advance user interface  with new Ice Cream Sandwich are also present and operational.
