Sorry Dave, IMO you are the one missing the point. you said"Nokia understood that we were in litigation with Ericsson, and they were expecting to live with the outcome. That was understood."
If NOK "with the understanding that they would have no impact on any third party, only to subsequently find out that the terms of the settlement agreement were binding on Nokia, it makes her recent decision to approve their release understandable."

No matter how it went "good or Bad" (IDCC & ERICY settelment) for Nok the out come was going to have a "impact" on NOK. They said or rather there lawyer said in open court "they didn't expect ERICY to lose" So they knew they stood a chace of IDCC win. They bet on the wrong pony, thats it. Now they bitch. No way, pay the Bookie Jack.
