The injunction may block RIM from selling their Blackberry branded hardware...but it may have a clause that allows the company to continue offering service to its current customers. And then again...maybe not. This is what happens when trillion dollar patents come into contention.
I wont be surprised if NTP comes out with their own product. If they had the patents why didnt they come out with a product yet would be my defense.
Can RIM come back to US with another device similar to blackberry with a different name?
This is a start, but perhaps not the answer.

Huge actually... Everyone will come in on the same day (and 99% won't have heard about the injunction) complaining how Cingular/Verizon/Sprint/Nextel etc.. suck this and eat s**t that, and how they are losing like a gazillion dollars a second (they of course won't want to buy a new phone however) and we'll have to patiently calm each one down, and explain to them that NTP (and the courts, and the Bush administration ;) ) are to blame for this and NOT their carrier, and even after all that probably...

I'm sure they'll come up with something, but just out of curiosity, if they don't offer you anything for your blackberry (read: paper weight) when the injunction is enforced what are you going to do? I mean if you're not buying another phone. Would you just go without a cellphone? Etc..
Not trying to start anything, I'm just curious.
