Simonson said Nokia is seeking "the same remedies Qualcomm has sought against Nokia in multiple venues around the world."

A quid pro quo?

It looks like Nokia is using the tactic of a good offense to help defend its allegedly unlicensed use of QCOM patents.

Nokia, whose global market share rose to 38 percent in the second quarter, said that sales further slumped in North America - its worst market - by 20 percent to EUR 160 million (US$215 million), accounting for less than 5 percent of all revenue.

Nokia's loss of market share, it can be argued, was due to its own decision to abandon the CDMA market and concentrate solely on GSM/WCDMA. And since Nokia has been dragging its feet on WCDMA handsets, partly through trying to make GSM/EDGE more attractive for U.S. customers, is there any wonder why their market share has dropped?
