September 25th, 2008Will the new n-series Nokia’s land in Canada?
The chart above (courtesy admob) about says it all. When it comes to smart phones, nokia rules the rest of the world while RIM owns North America (ignoring the smaller pink chunk of mostly-american Palm users, who just haven’t upgraded to Blackberry yet).
But there’s a lot that the high-end Nokia’s have that local smartphones lack, like killer photo, video and multimedia capabilities. Going against this trend Rogers launched the n95 this summer. Ironically just months before the n96 was released. The N96 has been out from Nokia for a few weeks now, as well as a selection of other n-series devices the N85 and N79. Of the bunch, the n85 (pictured) and the n79 might be the most interesting (the n96 being most distinguished by it’s sky-high price and mobile TV feature that won’t work over here).
For Rogers who’s new strategy seems to be to sell (almost) everything/anything GSM that Bell and Telus can’t get, how long can it be?
