Nokia to partner with China Mobile (2)

Nokia is set to partner with China Mobile, to launch a version of its flagship Lumia smartphone tailored for the world’s largest market.

China Mobile is China’s biggest telecom operator with more than 700 million subscribers but has no contract to sell iPhones. It will start selling the Lumia 920T, the first phone to be based on Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 8 platform.

Nokia’s Lumia 920 and 820 models are seen as crucial for the Finnish company as it tries to regain market share from rivals Apple and Samsung.
