Nokia aims to take 50% of the Indian smartphone market

October 28, 2011 | By Surur

Lumia-800 Nokia has announced its intent to take over 50 per cent market share in India in 2012.

While its cheap S40 based ASHA line will be its mainstay, they will also be releasing the two Lumia models there early next year.

"Our target share should always be more than half of the total market…I think we would be able to get there in 2012 by focusing on great innovative products, great delivery and experience at retail points, services and content integration," Nokia India Vice-President and Managing Director D Shivakumar told reporters here.

To support the launch of Lumia phones in India, the company has plans to give demonstrations and let consumers experience the new phones at over 5,000 retail points.

Nokia and Microsoft are training about 12,000 people for this. On the day of the launch, all the employees of Nokia’s corporate office in India will be selling phones at stores, Shivakumar said.
"It is the most important launch for us and the benchmark that we have set for ourselves is that it must be the most impactful consumer products launch in the country," he added.

Nokia says its retail partners and operators have committed to invest three times more on he marketing and promotion of the new phones, compared to earlier launches.

Developer news: Chinese developers can submit apps, Indian users can buy and both NoDo and Mango apps can be maintained

October 18, 2011 | By Surur

Microsoft has announced the expansion of the Windows Phone 7 marketplace to India, meaning Windows phone 7 users with a Live ID registered to India are now able to buy apps and Games in Marketplace.

While Chinese users are still not able to buy apps, Chinese developers can now however start submitting apps to Marketplace, allowing Microsoft to tap another huge source of talent.

Lastly, Microsoft has now released a solution for the Frozen NoDo app problem, where developers were not able to update the NoDo version of their app after upgrading it to Mango. Both versions of the apps are now independently updatable, meaning there should be no hesitation by developers in upgrading their apps to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.

Official Windows Phone Launch In India On Oct-12th By Microsoft

October 6, 2011 | By Pradeep

At last, Microsoft is going to launch Windows Phone devices in India officially. First generation Windows Phone devices were on sale in India for about a year even without official marketplace support. HTC, Dell,etc sold their phones in India without marketplace support which created a bad experience among consumers. But now, Microsoft has expanded its marketplace to India with Windows Phone Mango which is a good move and they are going to officially launch it on Oct-12th. Samsung revealed its Windows Phone 7.5 device Samsung Omnia W for India and HTC is expected to announce its 2nd generation devices in India next week along with Microsoft’s announcement.

Thanks to Vijay for the tip.

HTC Mozart Now Available For Just Rs.16499 In India

July 26, 2011 | By Pradeep

We all know that the current generation Windows Phone device prices are falling rapidly. We have reported about price drops of several devices in various markets around the world. The latest one to join the group is the HTC Mozart. The device which has 8GB internal memory, 8 MP camera with slim and sleek form factor now costs just Rs.16499 In India. Indian online retailer flipkart has listed Mozart with this new low price provided with manufacturer’s warranty and cash on delivery option. Its a killer deal in India because just for the comparison, Samsung Galaxy S II costs Rs.30000-Rs.35000, iPhone costs Rs.30000 to Rs.40000 and Dell Venue Pro costs Rs.23,999. I’m confident that Nokia will price their smartphones in the same range which will be highly competitive in India.

You can find more details on the offer here.
