Nokia say (I quote):

SMS SDK customer and Nokia Mobile Phones.
The agreement provides Licensee the right to
develop and manufacture SW and HW using the
Nokia SMS SDK. The right is granted to the
products of the Licensee listed in the agreement
Please note: Nokia will test and approve the
products before the commercial launch.
.....

applications with mobile features, please contact
us.
