Parent is not a troll, Korbeau is merely stating the obvious.

The $49 price is not the real price, but the difference between doing it one way, and doing it a different way, both with HORRIBLE subscription prices by european standards.

Early termination fees are a JOKE, especially with a size like that.
This whole story reeks of someone lacking their sense of judgement or deliberately ignoring it.

Yes, teH Nexus One is a nice phone, but

Comment special status means more work, not less (Score 0, Redundant) 73

special status just means that people will file extra co-patents, so their existing patents can get special examiner status.
It might cost a little bit more, but to some companies, that will probably be peanuts, compared to the value of "special examiner"-status.

of course, more patent claims = more money for them, and since they can discard the co-pending patent, it means more money for a tiny bit of work.
