Quite interesting claim as Nokia was still an EU company back then and software "as such" can't be patented to this day in the EU. (That's sadly not true in practice any more for some time by now as more and more software patents are granted under the notion beeing "computer aided inventions". This also overlaps with strong political will to finally lift the general ban on software patents. Thankfully some people are fighting this nonsense though[1]).
