The Finnish Giant Nokia, after almost spending a year or so in shadows has come to the limelight.

Report suggests within this period Nokia has invested in the development of GSM, UMTS/3G WCDMA and WLAN order of 40 billion euros. Not only this, Nokia might have just started the price war again cutting prices of its phones upto 10% according to the latest reports.

Nokia generally reduces prices across its range a few times a year as it introduces new models and adjusts to changes in demand, but this was particularly stringent. The company said that the slashes in prices are part of its normal business and that they usually do it a couple times per year.

“This latest round of price adjustments sees Nokia taking its low-cost Symbian devices into new territory,” said Ben Wood, CCS Insight Research Director, in an interview.

While there is incessant buzz that the Google Nexus Phone is coming on T-Mobile’s mobile network in the UK, the search engine giant seems poised to pick out AT&T for the launch of the 3G version of the device in the US, it has been emerged.

Google is apparently drawing away from its initial marketing strategy of selling the device direct-to-customers, presumably after the inaugural edition of its smartphone failed to work with the AT&T’s 3G networks.

In a bid to deal with this, the search company had reportedly filed an application with the US Federal Communications Commission for launching a 3G iteration of the device compatible with AT&T’s networks.

Incidentally, recent reports are suggesting that the Commission has already given a nod for such a version of the Google’s highly-talked about Nexus One.

The 3G version of the smart phone will soon be made available. In addition to this, reports are also doing rounds that a Verizon edition of the Google phone is expected to hit the shelves by spring this year.

AT&T officials said that the company’s WiFi service has made a record 85.5 million connections to the Internet in 2009 by its customers, using the company’s Wi-fi network.

The Nations largest and most advanced mobile broadband experience that is on offer by AT&T is expected to have further upsurge as more and more customer would utilize the Wi-fi on integrated devices because of its simplicity, reliability and for its convenience.

According to a press release by AT&T, it is being reported that its customers made a record 35.3 million which is up to 10 million connections from the third quarter of 2009. Already the fourth quarter connections excelled the total number of connections made in the first half of 2009.

Angie Wiskocil, senior vice president, AT&T Wi-Fi Services said, “Last year was a landmark year for AT&T Wi-Fi, and it shows in the tremendous response and usage we’ve seen from our customers and the leading venues we work with.”

He added further, “The record growth has been driven by our commitment to provide reliable connectivity solutions, the choice and simplicity of convenient locations, an unmatched portfolio of Wi-Fi enabled devices and plans, and strong venue support. We look forward to accelerating that growth even further in 2010 and beyond.”
