Nokia has reported that it is going to present new smartphones, which will help to reduce the gap between the company and its competitors. Of course, now the Finnish manufacturer is still the leader in the market of smartphones, in a competiton with such rivals as Apple and RIM.

As it is known, according to the results of the first quarter of 2009, the share of Nokia in the mobile phone market has fallen by 33%. “The economic crisis has coincided with our reorganizations, as well as with changes in our portfolio of devices”, – said Kallasvuo. “This led to the decrease in operating profit and earnings per share.

During his speech Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo also said that 83 million customers around the world are active users of Nokia mobile services, but in the future this figure is planned to increase. “We are making every effort to return the leadership of high-end smartphones and mobile computers in the market.
