Nokia to use Qualcomm for first WP7 smartphones Nokia has said this weekend that it has selected Qualcomm as the chipset supplier for its first Windows Phone 7 smartphones.
The company is also negotiating with other chipset makers for future devices.

Says a spokesman:

The first Nokias based on Windows Phone will have the Qualcomm chipset.

Our aim is to build a vibrant ecosystem around Nokia and the Windows Phone OS and with that intent we are naturally continuing discussions with a number of chipset suppliers for our future product portfolio.


Other possible suppliers are ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments.
