re: Nokia 7210 & 6610 Shipping late (but not too late) Very refreshing. We are late. Not too late, but late none the less. The good news is we are shipping the 7210 now and the 6610 will ship by the end of the month. Both phones will have availability for the holiday season. >> Nokia Colour-Screen Phones Slightly Delayed Helsinki Reuters Company News October 3, 2002 Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, said on Thursday shipments of two colour-screen models aimed at the picture messaging market have been slightly delayed but will be in shops in Europe this month. The 6610 model, which offers high-speed data connections and picture messaging, will be shipped to customers in Europe within the next few weeks rather than in the previous quarter. "There are no major issue with the 6610," Nokia Mobile Phones spokesman Tapio Hedman told Reuters. "But in this case there are a few items we want to fine tune so we are satisfied with the product before releasing it to the market." Nokia said it has begun shipping the 7210 model, a tri-band phone that operates on GSM networks worldwide and has multimedia messaging for the transfer of photos, text and sound, this week instead of earlier plans of shipments in the previous quarter. "The 7210 started shipping this week and within the next few weeks availability of it throughout Europe, including Finland, will increase," Hedman said. The 7210 fashion model and the 6610, targeted at business users, are expected to retail around 450 euros ($446), excluding subsidies, Hedman said. Both models are forecast to be big sellers this Christmas, the key sales period of the year, analysts said. Colour-screen phones are increasingly becoming a reason for consumers to buy new, more advanced mobile phones. Nokia phone launches are important for the industry because of the dominant global market position the Finnish company commands and most of its models are sold in millions of units. It has more than double the market share of its nearest rival, Motorola (NYSE:MOT) of the United States. << - Eric -

Due to this, according to a study carried out by Carlos Rodriguez and Daniel Torras, in 2007, 36 percent of Latin American clients will use GSM, 31 percent CDMA, 28 percent TDMA, 3 percent iDEN and 2 percent analog technologies. “We are more conservative regarding the speed at which TDMA operators will migrate to GSM or CDMA,” said the Pyramid Research analysts. “In addition to being widely available, TDMA handsets continue to be the most inexpensive in the market. This trend will continue as U.S. operators AT&T Wireless and Cingular progress with their migration plans to GSM and retire TDMA handsets from the U.S. market and have them refurbished and shipped to Latin America.” According to Pyramid Research, during 2001, TDMA was the most used technology by cell-phone customers in Latin America (48 percent) followed by analog users (24 percent), CDMA (22 percent), GSM (4 percent) and iDEN (2 percent). Meanwhile, according to data from the EMC World Cellular Database in June 2002, 60 percent of cell-phone clients used TDMA, 22 percent used CDMA, 13 percent were analog users and 5 percent used GSM services. << - Eric -
