Experts and buffs in the field take this launch as one of the most important for the company and feel that the very existence of Nokia is based on these two phones. However, the phones can be brought in the market only in November. That means the company has to make do with the older phones for the entire October, which might prove to be a challenging task.

Life has indeed been tough for Nokia. The company has lost as many as $3.86 billion in a year and a half. Moreover, Nokia also had to face tough competition from other companies and fell behind in the race.
