Advanced mobile devices anticipated to feature S60 software and
Qualcomm's integrated chipsets for a new level of mobile performance
Espoo, Finland and San Diego, CA, USA - 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 leverage 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 are 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 will 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 leveraging the
substantial synergies between S60 software and MSM chipsets."
