Nokia are too happy to play the field amongst the ARM suppliers, getting the lowest prices they can for the promise of a large order. They're unlikely to give that up and go with a single source of supply like Intel. This is more about Nokia wanting to license some IP and make a bit of money.
I don't think they're serious about using Intel for anything more than just another netbook. Intel have a tradition of trying to sound like they've invented everything first, even if other people have been there for many years, and I think this new class of device they speak of is nothing more than Intel playing catch up with the ARM suppliers by putting 3g connectivity into every netbook.
