Nokia To Launch Chinese Td-scdma Devices In 2009

摘要

Finnish handset vendor Nokia said it plans to launch a handset based on China's homegrown TD-SCDMA 3G standard before the end of 2009. The world's biggest handset vendor announced that it has already started the development of a TD-SCDMA device based on the Symbian S60 OS. Despite its leading position in the handset market, as well as having Symbian dominate the smartphone space, Nokia will still be looking to build market share wherever it can. Last month the vendor confirmed what many have come to fear of late; the sharp pullback in consumer spending worldwide has hit the mobile devices market hard. Nokia's preliminary estimate for industry mobile device volumes is down for 2009 compared to 2008, impacted by the economic slowdown.
