Nokia cuts prices, wants the crown again in mobile market

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.

Nexus One of Google set to join iPhone on AT&T edition

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.
