Nokia sees half of cellphones with GPS in 2010-12
Nokia plans to add navigation to half of the phones it sells within a few years to find new revenue streams amid decreasing handset prices, a senior official at the world's top cellphone maker said. It sells five models with built-in GPS and has unveiled four more which will ship in the coming months.
"We are planning to ship 35 million GPS units this year," Halbherr said, adding "and many more location-enabled phones that use cell-towers to orient themselves on the map". "You will see few 'E' or 'N' Series phones without GPS," he said. Last year Nokia sold 437 million phones, and it expects the volume to grow more than 10 percent this year. It sold 38 million phones in its multimedia range "N Series" and some 7 million "E Series" business phones.
