HELSINKI — Nokia will introduce many new phone models through North American carriers in coming months to grab a bigger share of the lucrative cellphone market, the Finnish phone maker said on Monday.
Nokia sells 40 per cent of all phones sold globally, but in the United States its share has been around 10 per cent as the Finnish firm has dropped own production of phones using CDMA technology, popular in the United States.
Finnish daily Helsingin Sanomat quoted Nokia's chief designer as saying design co-operation with U.S. operators will soon bear fruit.
“In the next few months (U.S.) operators will carry a lot of new products from us,” Alastair Curtis told the paper.
A Nokia spokesman said the company would introduce a number of new models in the United States this year – including CDMA phones, models tailored for the U.S. carriers and phones sold globally.
