Nokia Phils. country general manager Parikshit Bhasin said, "Market research forecast indicates that the replacement market growth in the Asia-Pacific will increase exponentially from 2005 to 2007 and it is clear that digital convergence and 3G are the key drivers for this growth."
"We are increasingly seeing more technologically advanced features such as cameras, music players and support for mobile e-mail being introduced across affordable mid-tier category," he added.
According to Bhasin, research shows that Asian consumers, in particular, have a stronger appetite for newer, technologically advanced devices and are more likely to be earlier adopters of such devices.
Bhasin said, "On the 3G front, WCDMA is gaining mass attraction in the market with over 45.7 million subscribers globally at the end of 2005. We are confident, that as more 3G-enabled devices are introduced to the affordable mid-tier segment, the uptake for WCDMA services will increase sharply and I believe a product like the Nokia 6233 will be extremely popular with consu-mers."
