Nokia now plans to focus on digital marketing initiatives for multimedia ‘N Series’ devices, business ‘E Series’ phones and ‘XpressMusic’ handsets.
Nokia’s decision has come after experiencing huge success with its recent online marketing campaigns in India for some models.

The 5235 is being marketed as a “Comes With Music” phone – which means the device will come preloaded with quite a few free audio tracks and will come with a 12 or 18 month subscription for Nokia’s Comes with Music service – all for free.
Nokia has fired a salvo at the entry level market with the announcement of its latest affordable handset, the Nokia 2710.
