Hasta La Gadget!

If you were looking to get your hands on a HTC device in Germany, you might want to hurry because according to reports, it seems that Nokia has managed to successfully obtain an injunction against HTC in Germany over an alleged patent infringement. The patent in question is that of battery saving capabilities while using wireless technology, and HTC phones with Qualcomm chipsets in them are said to be the ones that have infringed upon this patent. We’re not sure if all of HTC’s phones will be affected, but for now that seems to be the case. No word on when the injunction will take effect, but we expect that HTC will at the very least appeal the decision, or perhaps even arrive at some sort of licensing agreement with Nokia. After all, if HTC managed to reach a settlement agreement with Apple, why not Nokia, right?

Update – According to a HTC rep who got in contact with us, the devices listed in the injunction cover three handsets that HTC no longer imports to Germany, so we guess HTC will not be hugely affected. HTC’s statement can be read after the break. (more…)
