Nokia announced that it would provide emerging markets with powerful yet affordable mobile handsets along with locally relevant Ovi services to get the "next billion" people onto the Web.  The announcement was made on the final day of the Nokia World 2010 event that took place recently in London.

with more people joining the information age using a mobile phone than a PC. Nokia intends to do better in coming days.
But with so many Indian mobile companies giving Nokia a stiff challenge, it will not be that easy for Nokia.

So, what do you think people can Nokia sustain its leadership in Voice and data for the masses??

Yes Nokia can sustain its leadership in voice & data for the masses, and I think it is well-placed to grasp much of the projected growth in the worldwide marketplace. They have some slew of releases in coming days which they unveiled in Nokia conference in London recently.  Nokia has recently updated and optimized its Ovi Store to make it richer and more user-friendly. And also their mobile payment system is on the horizon for  approval from RBI, So things are looking good for Nokia at the moment....

I don't think they will be able to do sustain the leadership here, many Indian co's are giving stiff competition, and now there is news that even Bharti airtel is entering the space, this makes life all the more difficult for them and Nokia is just loosing steam, with barrage of Indian handsets and Indian teleco's entering this space which was Nokia's forte once.

A year back back my support would hv gone in favour of 'NO". but after seeing the latest development from Nokia and coming out with good ones like N900 they can sustain the leadership. its not only about voice and data now, its Unified communication -world is moving towards which highly application oriented. When I do comparison - Android, New Mobile windows and From Nokia now Linux (maemo5) all are light OS and open ended for development. Having build the strong brand and now moving on the right track Nokia can sustain the leadership.

They defenitly are the market leaders, but they are forced to be on their toes from other marketshare holders. Thats great news for the customers, hopefully, who have plenty of options to chosse from.

A lot of players (domestic and international) are on the heels of Nokia and trying to usurp the market share from them. A local brand - Micromax is doing quite well and has managed to gain market share over a period of time.

However, in the recent top brands survey by the Times Group, Nokia was among the major brands that was listed by the consumer. Additionally, at the international level, Nokia is not doing so well and it has gone in for a non-Finnish senior management person for the first time.

Despite all these shortcomings, Nokia is a very powerful brand that has a top of the mind awareness (TOMA) among the customers. It is more a case of lethargy and complacency after being at the top for a long time. The increase in the market share of the other players (domestic and international) has shaken Nokia and they are taking a lot of steps to regain the market share and one of the important steps being the implementation of the mobile payment system which will help it to regain its lost market share.

Thus, it is prudent to state that Nokia should be able to sustain its leadership in voice and data over a period of time......

Nokia has an excellent advantage of  excellent brand image which will be encashed to leverage new buyers of replacements or upgradations.This should help them to take the lead provided they offer the right mix.

NO! A mobile user is getting more wiser each passing day. Android based phones making waves.  Users love to try varieties. Many options/apps r readily available, at less/no cost.

It wont be possible for nokia without multiple M&A with new entrants.

Bharti is going to launch its Beetle phones and make their entrance in to the cellular sector. Beetle has a very good history in India and I guess can sustain very good competition. And today Nokia has launched its dual sim phones which I feel is slower than the other players in that segment. beetle is supposedly coming with a triple sim (GSM+GSM+CDMA) i believe which can give pretty good competition to Nokia in the future.
