Another budget phone offering from Nokia, is the 2626. It’s aimed at the emerging markets of India and China. Its a simplistic phone with a small feature set, although it does have an fm radio built-in. It is set for a $100 price tag (75 euros).
The emerging markets are currently helping to drive up Nokia’s profits;
The growth was driven by China and India where Nokia’s strategy of releasing cheaper models has helped it secure market share. Sales to China increased 58 per cent year-on-year to 11.7m units while other Asia-Pacific sales rose 79 per cent to 18.8m. Nokia’s competitor Motorola also revealed record quarterly sales, up 29 per cent compared with the same period last year. (Source: Financial Times)
