"For an increasing number of people in new growth markets like China, the mobile phone has quickly become an integral part of life - and the number of new mobile phone owners keeps growing," said Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "In 2008, Nokia expects that 3 billion people will be owning a mobile phone, with much of this growth coming from markets like China, India, South-East Asia and Africa, where penetration levels are still relatively low."
"One of the most important keys to success in these markets is to offer attractive, reliable and easy-to-use mobile phones that are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of consumers in new growth markets," adds Petersen. "Each of the three models introduced today adheres to this core philosophy - offering iconic designs, a well-balanced range of features and even special finishes like rubberized paint to combat dust and improve grip."
