Nokia Unveils Five New Handsets

Finland’s Nokia, known for releasing an average of nearly two new mobile handsets a month during a typical year, has introduced a collection of new handsets at the company’s Nokia Connection 2006 conference in Singapore.

With one hand, Nokia is promising “3g for everyone” with new phones (including a new inexpensive 3G handset) while on the other hand Nokia’s rolling improved cameras and Bluetooth connectivity typically found in high-end gadgets into new mid-range phones to satisfy consumer demand.

It continues: “Consumers risk losing access to the benefits of free or heavily subsidized handsets because the proposal would force providers to reduce the lineup of their most compelling handset offers." In a note to the FCC, AT&T said that "requiring providers to unlock handsets before they are paid off would ultimately harm consumers by creating upward pressure on handset prices and disincentives to finance handsets on flexible terms."
