Nokia shares rise more than 2 pct on Qualcomm deal

Shares of Nokia Corp., the world's biggest cell phone maker, rose
more than 2 percent Thursday as the company's truce with chip maker
Qualcomm Inc. alleviated fears that their long-running licensing battle
would disrupt the mobile industry.


The companies had been
feuding over royalties that Qualcomm charged -- and Nokia claimed were
too high -- on Qualcomm-patented technologies widely used in cell
phones to regulate the way information is transmitted. The dispute
lasted nearly three years and spanned three continents, spilling over
into courtrooms in the U.S. and abroad over Nokia's allegations of
antitrust violations.


U.S. traded shares of Espoo,
Finland-based Nokia gained 59 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $27.29
Thursday, a day after Nokia and San Diego-based Qualcomm announced a
15-year licensing deal that extinguishes the pending litigation between
the companies and gives Nokia rights to an array of Qualcomm patents.



Nokia
agreed to fork over an undisclosed sum to Qualcomm and pay ongoing
royalties, a boon for Qualcomm that the company estimates will lead to
a gain of 7 cents to 13 cents per share in the fiscal year ending in
September.


Qualcomm's stock was a big winner in the deal,
jumping $7.61, or 17 percent, to $52.43 Thursday, and hit a new
year-high of $54.51.


Qualcomm is the world's largest maker of chips that run cell phones.

Nokia Buys Social Network Service Plazes

ADOTAS – Cell phone-maker Nokia has snapped up Berlin-based Plazes,
a geographically based social network, in a push to expand its Internet
service offerings. Financial details of the transaction have not been
disclosed.

“This acquisition helps Nokia to accelerate its vision of bringing
people and places closer together, in line with our broader services
strategy,” Niklas Savander, the head of Nokia’s Internet services, said
in a written statement.


More and more mobile phones are being equipped with technology that
allows consumers to pinpoint their locations through cell triangulation
and GPS and Plazes has been trying to utilize the potential of such
services for its social network, so it’s a smart, symbiotic move for
both companies. Nokia will roll out several mobile phones this year
that offer the service.


But is Nokia playing industry catch-up? Zyb, also a European mobile social network, was snapped up by Vodafone last month.


The cell-phone company has been busy lately: it also acquired Gate5,
a mapping system, which it turned into Nokia Maps and in October of
2007, it purchased digital mapping company Navteq.


Plazes launched in 2005. Its staff of 13 will remain in Berlin.
