T-Mobile manager of "Tappy" robot on the stand. Huawei's Brian Heberlig of Steptoe: The "missed touch" issue wasn't limited to Huawei, was it? TMO witness: I didn't deal with failure, only improving Heberlig: Didn't T-Mobile give out one of its rubber tips?

 TMO witness: I'm not sure. Huawei's Heberlig: Let me show you your own email. AUSA: Objection! Judge Donnelly: Overruled. But only to the witness. Heberlig: Do you see your email with Bill Weavers of the company that built Huawei's touchscreens, Synaptics?

 Huawei's Heberlig: The email says "Buddy" - isn't that the name of Huawei's prototype? TMO witness: He could just be calling me that. Huawei's Heberlig: It was using its normal force- AUSA: Objection! Judge: Sustained

Huawei's Heberlig: Again, phones other than Huawei's had problems with T-Mobile's test, didn't they? TMO witness: I remember that Google's G-1 did at first. Re-direct AUSA: But T-Mobile had non-disclosure agreements with these companies, right? TMO witness: We did

[Now another T-Mobile witness, there from 2003-21] TMO's Young: After I left, I ran a start up in Boston for a year. Now I am a consultant. AUSA: So you would decide which handsets would be sold in T-Mobile stores? Young: Yes. It could take a year. We had NDAs
