city02 63 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 In 2001, you could buy operator specific mobiles in the US for $50 and many were subsidising them even further (free with 2-3 year post paid contracts). As long as the operator is capable of 'locking in' a mobile to their network alone, they can bring it down to a monsoon hungama level of about 500-1,000 (total cost not down payment for a 1 year contract) for unlocked mobiles, i think that 1,000-1,500 is about as low as they can afford to go...

Chirag 5 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 Nokia phones to cost less! March 04, 2005 17:20 IST Rediff.com In the wake of positive announcements in the Union Budget pertaining to the telecom sector, Nokia may cut prices of its mobile handsets in India, a senior company executive hinted on Friday. Describing Budget proposals as being very beneficial to the telecom industry, Nokia India's Head (Marketing), Sanjay Behl, said in Bangalore: "Whatever measures announced in the Budget, we will pass it on to consumers as early as possible. That action is going on right now." The telecom industry is very happy with the friendly Budget, he added. Consumers of telecom products in general can now avail better benefits, Behl said. "We (telecom industry) are very happy that the government has taken a consistent policy on telecom. Overall, budget has been friendly for the telecom industry. We expect it's going to augur well for the future of this industry." Meanwhile, Nokia on Friday launched its first concept store in India at Bangalore. Behl said the company has plans to roll out such a store at Delhi and eventually to all top cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
