Huawei is suing Motorola for the illegal transfer of Huawei’s intellectual property over to Nokia Siemens Network. In the summer of last year, Nokia Siemens Network acquired Motorola’s wireless network business, and possibly Huawei’s technologies as well.

Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo now living the easy life, won’t ever buy an iPhone
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, former Nokia CEO, has been living quite the mundane life these days as Stephen Elop, former Microsoft exec, has taken over the show in Espoo. So what does a man do after 30 years of service to a company and then getting shafted for poor performance? Relaxing, apparently. OPK, as he’s often referred…

Nokia remains committed to Symbian as the Symbian Foundation takes a step back
Last month we heard rumors that the Symbian Foundation might be closing up shop – giving the platform little to no hope of seeing life beyond the foreseeable future. Recently, we discovered SYMBEOSE, a consortium of companies devoted to enhancing the Symbian platform separate from the Symbian Foundation. It now appears that Nokia will also…
Nokia Updates iSync for Mac, Now with N8 Support
Nokia has updated its iSync software for Mac and now supports the new N8. If you’re a Mac owner, you’re probably all too familiar with the pain of being unable to easily sync non-iPhone/iPod devices to your computer. Third-party software doesn’t make it any better, either. Just look at how long it took BlackBerry Desktop…
Nokia to Make Phones for LightSquared 4G Networks
We recently heard about LightSquared and its plans to build a wholesale 4G or LTE network, but it didn’t take too long before it decided to make mobile phones that will be compatible with that network. It’s a wise move on Nokia’s part since LightSquared plans on covering about 260 million people in the U.S.…

Jailbreak your PS3 with a N900, Palm Pre, Nexus One, or TI-84 calculator
PSFreedom, a port of the open source PSGroove jailbreak solution for the Playstation 3, hit the internet last week and it has traveled far and wide since its debut. It is simple in theory – all you need is the code and a device with a USB microcontroller to execute this hack. Now in the…
Nokia Siemens Purchase of Motorola Division Confirmed
Hot off the trail of this morning’s rumor, Nokia Siemens announced that it purchased Motorola’s network equipment division – you know, the division that doesn’t make handsets and mobile devices. Just how much did it set Nokia Siemens back? $1.2 billion, which isn’t bad when you consider the position in which it puts the manufacturer…
Motorola to sell their network division to Nokia Siemens Networks because America distrusts China?
It’s no secret that Motorola is planning to split into two separate companies during the first quarter of next year. The handset division, which has been struggling to recapture their glory days of yore when the RAZR was the must have mobile phone on the market, will continue pumping out mobile phones. The networks side…
