Leading mobile phone maker Nokia took the wraps off a spate of new low-cost and entry-level phones today, all of which are designed to appeal to consumers in emerging markets—although Nokia believes the slim, Bluetooth-and-camera equipped Nokia 2630 (a.k.a. “Barracuda”) may be a revenue winner for the company. Although some of the handsets may eventually make their way to the North American market, initial availability of the phones will be limited to emerging markets in Asia, the Pacific, Africa, China, and Latin America—a stance underscored by Nokia’s introducing the phones at an event in New Delhi, India.
