Motorola, Nokia Set Cell Phones Free






Customers—some from as far away as Canada—camped through the night outside the store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. No, it wasn't the first shipment of Sony's PlayStation 3 or Nintendo's Wii gaming console they awaited—but cell phones. And not just any cell phones. These ones, unveiled at the summer opening of the flagship store owned by mobile-phone giant Nokia, boasted features such as multimegapixel cameras and the ability to surf the Internet over wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi, connections. Best of all: They were among the first in the U.S. that could be used on any one of several wireless networks.
Mobiledude says: Finally...I guess Moto and Nokia are battling for more market share, i.e. make shareholders happy. I see this as a win-win situation for Nokia.
