Nokia and Qualcomm Plan to Develop Advanced Mobile Devices

Espoo, Finland and San Diego (ots/PRNewswire)

- Advanced Mobile Devices Anticipated to Feature S60 Software and
Qualcomm's Integrated Chipsets for a New Level of Mobile Performance
Nokia and Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced
that the two companies are planning to work together to develop
advanced UMTS mobile devices, initially for North America. The
companies intend for the devices to be based on S60 software on
Symbian OS, the world's most used software for smartphones, and
utilize Qualcomm's advanced Mobile Station Modem(TM) (MSM(TM))
MSM7xxx-series and MSM8xxx-series chipsets for cutting-edge
processing performance and ubiquitous mobile broadband capabilities.
The first mobile devices based on this collaboration would be
expected to launch in mid-2010 and be compatible with the forthcoming
Symbian Foundation platform.
"Nokia is very pleased to be in discussions with Qualcomm around
designing mobile devices that can benefit from the high level of
integration found on MSM chipsets," said Kai Oistamo, executive vice
president, Devices, Nokia. "We are eager to demonstrate to the
industry the possibilities that exist when innovative and open
software is combined with advanced hardware solutions."
"Nokia and Qualcomm are leaders in advanced wireless
technologies, and this new level of cooperation would bring
exceptional leaps in mobile performance to people around the world,"
said Steve Mollenkopf, executive vice president of Qualcomm and
president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "We are very excited about
the possibility of the substantial synergies between S60 software and
MSM chipsets."
