Since Nokia has an option to renew their current license until the end of '08, there is zero incentive for them to settle unless one of these GPRS/EDGE patent suits is coming to a decision (and they see a possibility of losing) or maybe sometime in the middle of '08 when the WCDMA suits start coming to trial. Do we know if the terms are level from now to the end of '08? That extension for renewal makes more sense if the terms of the extension make it increasingly expensive (and otherwise discouraging of bad behavior) to renew toward the end of the renewal period than at the end of the existing contract. A free ride on Q's back is too weird to be true.
