July 24, 2008 at 1:50

Espoo, Finland and San Diego, USA - Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Qualcomm
(Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced that they have entered into a new
agreement covering various standards including GSM, EDGE, CDMA,
WCDMA, HSDPA, OFDM, WiMax, LTE and other technologies. The agreement
will result in settlement of all litigation between the companies,
including the withdrawal by Nokia of its complaint to the European
Commission.

Under the terms of the new 15 year agreement, Nokia has been granted
a license under all Qualcomm's patents for use in Nokia's mobile
devices and Nokia Siemens Networks infrastructure equipment. Further,
Nokia has agreed not to use any of its patents directly against
Qualcomm, enabling Qualcomm to integrate Nokia's technology into
Qualcomm's chipsets. The financial structure of the settlement
includes an up-front payment and on-going royalties payable to
Qualcomm. Nokia has agreed to assign ownership of a number of patents
to Qualcomm, including patents declared as essential to WCDMA, GSM
and OFDMA. The specific terms are confidential.

"We believe that this agreement is positive for the industry,
enabling the market to benefit from innovation and new technologies,"
said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia Corporation. "The positive
financial impact of this agreement is within Nokia's original
expectations and fully reflects our leading intellectual property and
market positions."

"I'm very pleased that we have come to this important agreement."
said Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm. "The terms of the new license
agreement, including the financial and other value provided to
Qualcomm, reflect our strong intellectual property position across
many current and future generation technologies. This agreement paves
the way for enhanced opportunities between the companies in a number
of areas."
