[QUOTE]T-Mobile has filed a lawsuit against Chinese firm, Huawei, after its staff attempted to sneak in to T-Mobile offices and steal software and technology behind the carrier’s phone testing robot, which is nicknamed ‘Tappy’.
Huawei employees allegedly stole the software and specifications for the robot, they also took secret photos of the machine at work- corporate espionage at its finest. These employees were then supposed to bring all of this information back to Huawei in order to help the firm build its own phone testing robot. T-Mobile is officially suing the Chinese firm for theft of its trade secrets, violating NDA and supposedly profiting from this stolen info.[/QUOTE]

So many mobile lawsuits at the moment, I wonder who else is going to jump on the bandwagon?

To USE it. Not to take the designs and bring it back to THEIR company, which is stealing trade secrets.

Huawei sucks. My store carries a few of their phones for various pre-paid phone companies and people return those pieces of crap all the time.
