In India Nokia is very big, it has a good reputation, they have plants in Chennai I saw. I lost a phone in India, so I bought a cheap Indian Nokia, low end, all Indian phones have dual sim, flash-light, and a bigger loudspeaker, as Indians, especially the poor, use it like a radio, and hear music with it all day. The flash light is very cute do, it's not in the display, but all Indian phones seem to have it.
But with all the good reputation it has, it is probably a bit more classy to have one, there is competition, there are several new Indian manufacturors, Karbonn comes to mind, but also other's, and there are especially many chinese brands, gfive is one, who make cheap Nokia clones. I can imagine that the new lumia could become big in India as a high end phone. Generally internet by phone is not yet very big in India, so smart phones are still rare. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, cardemaister <no_reply@...> wrote: > > > http://mynokiablog.com/2011/12/18/video-lumia-800-continues-to-get-thrashed-with-multiple-drop-tests/ > > Prasenjit Bist says [*seems* like a Bhaarataname -- card] > > December 19, 2011 at 4:28 pm > How does it matters after all its a NOKIA and they lived up to the reputation > of NOKIA brand.
