Nokia to launch WiMax phones in early ’08

By

Nokia expects to start selling mobile devices using WiMax technology in early 2008, the world’s top handset maker said Monday.

Nokia’s closest rival in the handset market, U.S.-based Motorola, also plans to bring its first WiMax-enabled mobile phone to the market in 2008. Intel, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola all support the open-standard WiMax as an alternative wireless broadband Internet connection alongside third generation mobile telephony networks, on which Internet access can be slowed if networks fill up with voice callers.
