Nokia is not being left behind, with its first-ever video-oriented 3G smartphone, the 6680. This year will see Nokia launch 10 new 3G phones that will retail from around 100 euros, Nokia's Tuutti told AFP.
Finland's Nokia said Tuesday that it expects to see a total of two billion mobile phone users globally by the end of 2005 and estimates the number will reach three billion by the end of 2010.
"There is tremendous growth in 3G," Nokia's Tuuti emphasised. Nokia estimates the number of 3G users will hit the 70 million mark by the end of 2005 compared with 16 million at the end of last year.
So-called smartphones, which enable callers to see each other while talking as well as handling entertainment downloads and instant e-mail access, are now the fastest growing segment, Tuuti said.

Nokia expects this market to grew to over 50 million units this year compared with 22 million in 2004 and hopes to scoop up 40 percent of all sales.
