Nokia delays launch of Nokia Lumia 620 in India to next month
Share:
No reason was given for the delay, but the spokesman made it sound like the first week of March was now written in stone. And while the Nokia spokesperson could not give a price for the device, sources are expecting it to retail at a price of 20,000 Rupee ($370.49 USD). The phone will be available in magenta, yellow, cyan, white and black.
With smartphones owning a market share in India of less than 10%, the country has plenty of room for growth in smartphone sales. Besides, India is one of the fastest growing emerging markets. Recent statistics show that Apple grew its business there by a staggering 400% in the last quarter. With Apple beginning to pick up market share in the country, Nokia cannot afford to have an affordable entry-level model like the Nokia Lumia 620 delayed for too long.

Yes true.. In india me and my friends were expecting minimum 13 k and maximum 15k . So if its 20 k then i think comparatively less people will buy it. I was so excited to buy it under 14 k :( please nokia should think about it. It will sell like hot cakes if priced under 14-15 k. Nokia please think about it..

You can't, but considering those dual- and quad-core Android devices from Karbonn, Micromax etc have become quite popular, Nokia will have to lower the price if they hope to woo people. Of course, the Lumia 620 will have MUCH better quality, but the competition from local manufacturers is a big threat, so the pricing needs to be better.

Shh, the source s IBNLive. I wouldn't trust IBN or Aaj Tak or India TV or NDTV for any news unless its official.

12k to 15k is perfect. I doubt how many will buy this.
Why price so high when you are desperate to gain smartphone market share.
