Question: Have there been any lawsuits filed againist T-Mobile? Question is related to plan charges

Answer: Yes. Eatoni Ergonomics files a suit against Blackberry and T-Mobile. Read the article below:\n\n"Startup Eatoni Ergonomics Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd., alleging the company's 7100 Series devices infringe on its patents for predictive text entry. Along with the suit, Eatoni's chief executive officer offered some choice words on the issue. \n\n"The problem is that the RIM 7100 is good, good enough to infringe the patent, but not good enough to create a new standard for mobile text entry,'' said Howard Gutowitz, Eatoni's CEO. "That's why we have to stop it now and hopefully convince RIM and others to introduce new devices which implement the technology properly.'' \n\nGutowitz added: "Of course, they've got fabulously more money than we do, but the truth is the truth, and we count on the judge and jury to see that.'' \n\nRIM said it is not infringing on Eatoni's patents and believes it will prevail in the case. A trial date is set for late next year. \n\nInterestingly, T-Mobile USA Inc. also was named as a defendant in the lawsuit. However, T-Mobile is only one of several carriers that sell the 7100 device; Cingular Wireless L.L.C. and Dobson Communications Corp. also sell the device. An Eatoni official said it was a fair move to name only T-Mobile USA. \n\nEatoni alleges the design of RIM's 7100 QWERTY keyboard infringes on its patents for predictive text entry. \n\nThis is the latest in a series of lawsuits against the BlackBerry maker. The most notable such suit is NTP Inc.'s patent-infringement case, which could potentially find its way to the Supreme Court. RIM is currently appealing a 2002 jury ruling in favor of NTP. NTP alleges RIM's BlackBerry offering infringes on its patents for wireless e-mail. \n\nThe NTP vs. RIM case has raised a notable amount of interest, both in the wireless industry as well as the legal profession. The outcome of the case could have serious implications for wireless e-mail vendors as well as patent law in general."
