Patents at issue in the Verizon-Vonage dispute

Here's a list of the patents at issue. Does anybody know which three were upheld?
Anybody have a pointer to the court order?

http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6430275
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6282574
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6128304
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6137869
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6359880
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6298062

Update: Here's the court case number: 06-cv-682

Update 2: Says here:
The infringed patents cover a method for translating calls between an Internet network and the standard telephone network, call-waiting features and wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi, handsets. Vonage was cleared of infringing two patents related to billing systems designed to prevent fraud.
My initial hypothesis, then, is that the Method for Translating Calls is Patent 6104711 (but it could be Patent 6282574), the Call Waiting is Patent 6298062, and the Wi-Fi claim might be Patent 6359880, but it sure would be nice to have the Court Order.
