Nokia to bring Dual SIM phones in 2010
At the Nokia Capital Markets Day yesterday Nokia made a lot of forward looking statements including some indications of their device portfolio in 2010.
UPDATE: This is finally a reality ! Nokia has finally launched Dual Phones
Nokia made it’s intentions to remain the leader in the handset market and that it’s not taking the competition lightly. Some good news for all of you who are craving for that Nokia Dual SIM mobile phone. It might actually become a reality in 2010.
Kai Oistamo, Executive VP of Devices made a statement about S40 devices
Next year you can expect other additions in Series 40, you can expect expect adding qwerty , dual-sim and touch UI to Series40 phones.
I’m sure such a phone would sell like hot cakes in India. The main reason of high sales of Chinese Mobile phones also some regional players like Fly , Orion is due to the Dual SIM feature.
With such a move , Nokia is seriously changing its approach. But we hope that their Time to Market for devices improves in 2010.
The main limitation when it comes with DUAL SIM phones are power consumption and signal strength. If phone cloners in Shenzen can get it right ? Nokia can do it in a much better may. Stay away from those fake NokLa phones in the market till 2010
