Nokia,has been facing competition from home grown mobile manufacturers in the low-end mobile segment. However, when asked whether Nokia is responding to the competition with the new launch, Nokia Executive Vice President Anssi Vanjoki said, “It is a strategic option for Nokia. With the new devices we are bringing mobile messaging and social networking into the hands of more people.”

With the free push mail service, Nokia is also trying to tap the mobile e-mail users in India.

“People are looking at messaging services as an enhanced business tool. There are six million mail users on mobile in India. The number is expected to touch 130 million in 2014,” Nokia India Managing Director and Vice President D Shivakumar said.
