Will Nokia be able to produce same quality?

Nokia has decided to hand off its 3G chip development to STMicroelectronics. STMicro will license Nokia's 3G technology to design and build chips for cell phones. Nokia is also going to license its modem technology to other manufacturers. The move comes as Nokia is in the midst of restructuring its internal organization. It had traditionally used Texas Instruments to build its chips, but Nokia will now use STMicro, Broadcom, Infineon and Texas Instruments to supply a range of GSM, EDGE and WCDMA chips for its handsets. The new arrangement will allow Nokia to draw from a wider base of suppliers and let it refocus on other core competencies.
