War is over and love is in the air: Nokia and Qualcomm are to make sweet phones together.
The two companies, which have spent many years suing each other over patents, will develop UMTS devices, initially for North America, based on S60 software and Qualcomm’s Mobile Station Modem MSM7xxx-series and MSM8xxx-series chipsets.The first models should ship 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, EVP of devices at Nokia. “We are eager to demonstrate to the industry the possibilities that exist when innovative and open software is combined with advanced hardware solutions.”
