Nokia To Expand US Lineup

Jan 28, 2005, 5:39 PM by (staff)

Nokia is making a commitment to renew their US phone line-up in order to regain market share that has recently trickled away. While reviewing fourth quarter results, CEO Jorma Ollila admitted a weak selection of CDMA models and other holes in the company's portfolio have hurt its position in North America. U.S. Subscribers should see a more diverse selection from Nokia including customized models for certain carriers, according to a company spokesman. In addition to new form factors and features, the CDMA line up will eventually include EV-DO models as well, despite Nokia's earlier resistance to the technology.

They promise this every year

The only good CDMA phines they have ever had were made in Korea by Panatech with Qualcomm chips. Do a search of old press releases and they are the same every year.
