Nokia has secured victory in its ongoing legal battle with IPCom, with a UK appeals court today ruling that none of the Finnish firm's current products infringe a contentious 3G patent. IPCom had appealed a UK High Court ruling last year which found that the patent in question was not valid as granted; last month, the European Patent Office overturned the patent, though the appeals court today agreed that some of Nokia's old products would have clashed with it.

Nokia celebrates as IPCom patent attack invalidated
Nokia may have been having a rough week last week, but a little patent good news today has put a smile on the Finns' faces. Having been found guilty of infringing a patent owned by IPCom with its N96 smartphone last year, the European Patent Office has now overturned the patent and deemed it invalid.

Nokia Lumia 900 vs iPhone 4: The $99 Showdown
Big news today is Nokia’s US re-entry, with the Lumia 900 scoring some cautiously congratulatory reviews – ours included – at an ambitious AT&T price point and the heft of Microsoft behind it.

Strap on your smartphone helmets, people, it’s time to get competitive.

Nokia: Apple’s nano-SIM design is flawed
Nokia has fired back at Apple over nano-SIM suggests, issuing a heated statement about the next-gen cards that accuses the Cupertino-backed standard of being more prone to damage, user confusion and - most damning - not especially elegant a design. Apple supposedly threw the cat among the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) pigeons with its proposal for a tray-borne nano-SIM format, according to reports earlier this week, with concerns that the company was trying to force through its scheme by some less-than-gentlemanly vote juggling.
