Well, I suppose that Apple side might argue that Nokia felt threatened about iPhone and wasn't willing to offer fair terms. We'll have to wait and see what comes up in trial, altough the chances of corporate lawyers settling this behind closed doors are pretty high.

Precedence might be bit tricky concept here. Most of the previous license agreements have propably involved extensive crosslicensing, as many major manufacturers have loads of their own IP in GSM (Motorola, Qualcomm, Ericsson/SE, Samsung etc). Apple propably has very little, if any, patents suitable for cross licensing in this area.
