Contrary to general belief that India is a market only for low-end cellular phones, world leader Nokia today said the country is among top 10 nations using smart phones offering mobile internet ideal for corporate and business professionals. |
Launching its new device in the E-series (E51), Nokia has also tied up with British Telecom to offer specific solutions suiting the end users, Nokia Mobile Device Unit (Enterprise Solutions) Senior Vice-President Antti Vasara told here. |
|
Nokia E51 extends business value to end-users and businesses through its ability to integrate tightly with corporate telephony systems (PBX) through Nokia Mobile Unified Communications solutions such as Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco and Alcatel. |
|
"These solutions deliver desk phone calling features such as extension dialing, hold, transfer and conferencing to a single, mobile device," Vasara said, adding that it would truly be a fixed-mobile convergence enabling companies reduce their international call charges by routing the call over the corporate IP network. |
|
Asked whether Nokia was looking for similar tie ups (as with BT) with other operators including in India, Vasara said "Yes. But we cannot divulge information at this stage." |
|
The new device E51 would be available in India soon with a price tag of 350 Euros (Rs 18,500 approximately). |
|
On the issue of affordability especially in India, Vasara said India was among the top 10 nations using high-end mobile phones and the number of users in this segment have been growing very fast. |
