Develop drivers, develop a UI, write sms and phone applications, deploy. Shouldn't be too hard for these two giants.
Hrm writing totally new OS and Nokia developing totally different UI on the side is far from 1 year project. Not to even talk about Qt that's much of Nokia's work after they bought Trolltech in 2008.

Actually only reason why there's a change of somehow getting new OS that's a actually in a working condition is Nokia's Harmattan that was announced in 2007. Think about IOS or Android and how much they have been able to contribute to the UI and new functions in 3-4 years.
