Nokia launches Windows smartphone to regain market share | Inquirer Technology: "STOCKHOLM—Finland’s Nokia, struggling to remain the world’s top mobile phone maker amid fierce competition, launched Wednesday its first smartphone using the Windows platform, which it hopes will secure profitability.
Nokia launched the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 smartphones, to be rolled out starting next month in selected markets.
The success of the new phones is seen as do-or-die for Nokia, with its market share plunging as smartphone users flock to the hugely popular iPhone by Apple, RIM’s Blackberry and handsets running Google’s Android platform.
Chief executive Stephen Elop in February announced a radical company restructuring and the phasing out of Symbian as Nokia’s smartphone software in favor of a partnership with Microsoft.
