the launch of 3G mobile services and people opting to go for replacement of old devices, the smartphone market in India is set to more than double in the next two years. <br /><br /> According to technology-focused analyst house Canalys, the Indian smartphone market was 2,126,140 units in the 2009 calendar year. <br /><br /> "The market for smartphones will be more than double in two years as two things come together at the same time. First, 3G, which is going to happen by the first quarter next year. The second one is the replacement cycle," said D Shivakumar, MD, Nokia India. <br /><br /> Over 100 million people who bought phones in the last three years are likely to go for a replacement. <br /><br /> Nokia, which is the market leader with an over-50% market share in India, has given a clear indication that it will focus on the lucrative segment globally as well as in India. <br /><br /> During its annual technology event last week, Nokia Vice-President (Markets) Niklas Savander, announcing the launch of the company s latest smartphones, said, "Nokia sells 260,000 smartphones every day globally. We plan to sell 50 million of the new smartphones post their launch." <br /><br /> Analysts feel that Nokia is losing out to Apple and Research in Motion's Black-Berry in the smartphone segment. <br /><br /> Though Nokia claims they are still the leaders, it was feeling the heat in the smartphone segment and was trying to revive its portfolio. <br /><br /> During its annual Nokia World event in London this year, Nokia unveiled three new devices  E7, C7 and C6  all using the latest Symbian software. <br /><br /> The three devices, along with the much-anticipated N8, will form a portfolio of phones running on Nokia's updated operating system. "All the devices are set to enter the Indian market this year," added Mr Shivakumar. Besides smartphones, Nokia will also come up with a range of dual-SIM devices. <br /><br /> Asked if Nokia was forced to come out with dual-sim phones on account of the runaway success of domestic players offering features-rich dual-SIM mobile phones, Mr Shivakumar replied, "The dual SIM market in India has picked up because of tariff arbitrage as the new operators are offering lower call rates. Launching dual-SIM doesn't mean that the brand got weaker or Nokia's business model was wrong." <br /><br /> Talking about the influx of low-cost Chinese handsets in the Indian market, Mr Shivakumar said the market has already stabilised and most of the players are already "losing steam."  PTI <br /><br /> <strong> FRESH CONNECTION </strong> <br /><br /> Nokia is the market leader with an over-50% market share in India. <br /><br /> Co to launch the recently-unvield smartphones E7, C7, C6 and N8 in India this year. <br /><br /> Besides smartphones, Nokia will also come up with a range of dual-SIM devices. <br /><br /> The Indian smartphone market was 2,126,140 units in the 2009 </p> </div> </div> <!--<p><strong>Source : evertiq.com</strong></p>--> </div> </div> </div> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" width="10"><img alt="" src="http://www.ibef.org/images/1px.gif" height="5" width="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> <td valign="top"><table width="100%" height="372" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><a href="NewsL.html"><img src="images/news.gif" width="197" height="29" border="0" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="132" valign="top"><table width="91%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="130"><iframe src="newsview.htm" width="200" height="105" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" ><div align="center"><a href="alpha.html"><img src="images/alpha.gif" width="196" height="150" border="0" /></a></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <div align="center"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="197" height="68"> <param name="movie" value="images/chip.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="images/chip.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="197" height="68"></embed> </object> </div></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="28" background="images/btm.gif"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="14%">&nbsp;</td> <td width="58%" class="content"><div align="center">Copyright &copy; ChipTest, All Rights Reserved |<a href="javascript:winopen2('Disclaimer.html',390)" class="content"> Disclaimer</a></div></td> <td width="16%" valign="middle" class="content">Designed &amp; Developed by </td> <td width="12%" valign="middle" class="content"><a href="http://www.cherrytec.com" target="_blank"><img src="images/logocherry.gif" alt="Cherry" border="0" style="padding-top:3px;" longdesc="http://www.cherrytec.com"/></a></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="rect" coords="44,18,73,52" href="sitemap.html" /> <area shape="rect" coords="7,21,33,54" href="index.html" /> <area shape="rect" coords="85,17,116,55" href="contact.html" /> <area shape="rect" coords="860,6,890,32" href="index.html" alt="Home" /> </map></body> </html>
