Nokia unveils smartphones

15 Sep, 2010

Cellphone maker Nokia unveiled the smartphones its new management team will be fighting with on Tuesday, as it tries to win back market share from Apple and Blackberry. The world's biggest cellphone maker, Nokia is engaged in a major management revamp, with the departures of its chief executive and chairman announced last week and its top internal candidate for the CEO post resigning on Monday after an outsider was chosen for the job.
Nokia still controls around 40 percent of the global smartphone market volume, but has lost out to Apple and Research in Motion's Blackberry in the fatter-margin market for the most expensive cellphone models. The new models - E7, C7 and a new version of the C6 - all come with large touchscreens and use the latest Symbian software. The phones will go on sale before the end of the year at prices ranging from 260-495 euros, excluding subsidies and taxes.
