Good News :
- Vodafone (VOD.L) said on Friday it was offering the BlackBerry Storm smartphone free to customers in Britain willing to sign a two-year contract, a move that could brighten the outlook for sales of the new device.
"The BlackBerry Storm pricing will start from free on a two year contract at 35 pounds (C$56.35) per month on a Best for Text plan that will include 600 minutes and unlimited texts," Vodafone said in a release on its website.
- Vodafone is the world's biggest mobile phone company by revenue.
However, handset management software firm Mformation Technologies said Friday it has sued RIM, claiming patent infringement.
New Jersey-based Mformation claims RIM has infringed two of its patents by making and selling the BlackBerry and the BlackBerry's management software. It did not specify what remedies it is seeking.
"After refusing to license Mformation's disclosed systems and software, RIM modified its BlackBerry software to include Mformation's patented systems and methods of remote management," Mformation said.
RIM was not immediately available for comment.
