Please, you are spreading rubbish
Those are the TEN esential pattents Nokia sued for against Apple:
That's only one part of the complaints Nokia filed against Apple. That's only the US court patent suit.
There have been patent suits filed in the US, Germany, UK and the Netherlands courts and two complaints to the International Trade Commission (ITC).
The one I posted is Nokia's first complaint to the ITC.
There's no difference in essentiality or not, there were a total of 46 patents claimed to be infringed in the whole set of suits and complaints Nokia filed against Apple. All these have now been settled.
Not all of them were hardware unlike you were implying.
For reference the ITC complaint I linked to covers these Nokia patents:
** SOFTWARE ** U.S. Patent No. 6,073,036, "Mobile Station with Touch Input Having Automatic Symbol Magnification Function,"
** SOFTWARE ** U.S. Patent No. 6,262,735, "Utilizing the Contents of a Message,"
U.S. Patent No. 6,714,091, "VCO With Programmable Output Power"
U.S. Patent No. 6,34,181, "Mobile Communication Device and Related Construction Method"
U.S. Patent No. 6,895,256, "Optimized Camera Sensor Architecture for a Mobile Telephone"
U.S. Patent No. 6,518,957, "Communications Device with Touch Sensitive Screen"
U.S. Patent No. 6,924,789, "User Interface Device,"
Full complaint at the ITC (minus the confidental parts)

Question is are other manufacturers licensed for all these patents as well. Eg the keyboard one.
Unfortunately the licensee list for these patents included in the ITC complaint is confidential.
