Nokia announces new pen-based handset
Nokia has announced its second pen-based handset for the
Chinese market…
Emphasising its commitment to providing localised solutions
outside its traditional design guidelines. The 3108 are
targeted at the entry level market and builds on the success
Nokia has enjoyed with the original 6108 in Chinese-speaking
countries throughout Asia Pacific.
The device includes a 4096 colour display, MMS compatibility,
XHTML browsing and support for Java downloads. There is
also a lunar calendar, an enhanced phonebook, themed wallpapers,
polyphonic ringtones, animated screensavers and games.
Chinese characters can be input using the touch pad concealed
beneath a flip and the stylus, which clips to the back
of the handset.
The Nokia management are very encouraged by the success
of is first pen-based phone, the Nokia 6108 which has
been extremely well-received particularly in China and
other markets in Asia Pacific where there is a predominantly
large population of Chinese language users. This bears
testimony to the huge potential of consumers in the region
who value the intuitive pen-based feature optimised for
Chinese messaging.
Building on the success of the Nokia 6108, we are bringing
the benefits of the pen input capability to a broader
segment of consumers who enjoy self-expression, sharing
experiences and moments with their friends and family
in a fun and exciting way. With its dynamic and trendy
design and fun features for personalisation, the pen-based
Nokia 3108 will appeal to a wider and younger consumer
segment with such needs and preferences.
The 3108 will be available during Q4 2003.

The new strategies of Motorola in Philippine
Cell Phone Markets
Mobile phone manufacturer Motorola plans to give market leader
the Finnish Nokia a run for its money as the former plans to
come up with an aggressive marketing strategy….
Motorola admitted that Nokia is the market leader in the country's
cellular phone market. According to Motorola has lost its market
leadership worldwide due to the company's complacency. About
four to five years ago, Motorola held between 60 to 70 per cent
of the mobile phone market worldwide. At present, Nokia is the
market leader, and the manufacturer Motorola comes in second.
However, Motorola has recognized its pass and recent mistake
and has implemented steps to enable it to win back its market.
Are in the intentions of Motorola be very humble and very greedy
to earn business in the Philippine market. Motorola also recognized
that Philippines have become the texting capital.
The Philippines is probably the Motorola weakest market in the
world according with the company internal reports. To get better
share in the Philippine market, Motorola will be introducing
their new developed cellular phone that carries a new user interface
for texting and for navigation. The new Motorola phones now
have the easy features that Nokia phones have. In this connection
the company is now talking with local operators to come up with
attractive packages that would promote the new phones. In these
days, the company plans to launch a new phone model - the A380.
The company also plans to launch one new phone model each month.
The new models have been chosen to fit the needs of the Philippine
market.

happens to be one of those games that's easier to
play than it is to explain. You play as the red
diamonds, and your goal is to take over the board
by leaping into the spaces adjacent to your opponent's
watery globules.
