Intel is rumored to have won a contract that will see the company supply mobile-chips to Finnish cell phone manufacturer Nokia.
Several publications today report that Intel and Nokia will announce a new deal during a conference call set to take place Tuesday. Bloomberg reports, citing an insider who preferred not to be named, that Intel senior mobility VP Anand Chandrasekher will make the big announcement.
Rumors about a Nokia netbook or MID have been doing the rounds for a while. With every company under the sun making netbooks (remember that offering from light bulb people?) it wouldn’t exactly be a huge shock to see something from the Finnish company. However, most assumed the company would end up offering an a ARM-powered device. Now it looks like we’ll see something based on Intel’s Atom processor.
If the rumors are true, Intel is probably feeling pretty pleased with itself. The company has been trying to put its chips in mobile phones for ages and Nokia is one of the biggest cell phone manufacturers in the world. Will Strauss, a Cave Creek, Arizona-based analyst for research firm Forward Concepts spoke to Bloomberg about the magnitude of the deal, saying that even if Intel only garnered a piece of Nokia’s business, it’s still a big deal.
Neither Intel or Nokia have a released a comment on the report.

I hope this will make them even better !
Oh great, i was hoping that they would wait for tegra.

oops
is it going to be much faster? The disadvantage about Atom being in a mobile phone is that, it sucks more power than any other mobile phone's processor. On the other hand, who really needs a powerhouse mobile phone?
it won't be about the atom unless in the far future since intel has yet to optimize and reduce the atom into a smaller process to compete against ARM.
maybe, the deal could mean collaboration.

And run hotter and with lower battery life?

This is what im waiting for, hopefully they partner up and add on phone capabilities. That would be so sweet. 1080p video recording, web features, h.d. playback..... Dual screen support...3d gaming.......
I hope they are including an extra battery with every Atom powered phone. LOL
I am really eager to see a 7" screen on a Cellphone.

I still think its going to be an ARM based chip Intel is supplying. x86 isn't the only thing Intel fabs (anyone remember Itanium?). If Nokia wanted to go with the Atom, they'd have to completely re-write their entire phone software suite, and that's very unlikely to happen.
Do i dare say Android ?
after owning 3 dud nokia's and going to an iPhone and having zero issues i say good luck nokia - your going to need it.
only 3? I though all nokia's were duds....
