Qualcomm and Nokia

Dave,

The following references tend to support Art's statement that "Nokia was forced to use QCOM chips, which were sold not to Nokia directly but to a Chinese company working with Nokia (and also licensed by QCOM)."

"Nokia formed an alliance in May with Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics to develop next-generation CDMA chips.
The vendor team is initially focusing on CDMA2000 1X chip sets, already being used in Nokia handsets ."

"The alliance [ Nokia, Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics] also should put some competitive pressure on
CDMA leading-light Qualcomm. However, both Nokia and TI have long-standing licensing agreements with Qualcomm,
and the San Diego-based developer will continue to rake in royalties no matter what happens. "
