The FT splits the market into two set of customers:

1) New customers buying new phones. Sons converting die harder fixed liners parents, new arrivals in Euroland, second phones, kids reaching mobile 'adulthood' etc.

2) Replacement market. Existing subscribers buying replacing old phones: Stolen, kaput, outdated, bad contacts, fading color, impotent battery, etc.

This wasn't important during 'the sky is the limit' (good old days). This is a saturated market. Need to keep track much more closely as it develops. Needs new ideas to sell phones.

Or just make MMS work as promised and lets junk all existing 2G the way we junk PC's. Has NOK heard about planned obsolescence a la WINTEL?
