SMART to offer 610, 710, & 900; Globe to offer 610 & 800
The Nokia Lumia battle lines are drawn! Smart just announced that they will offer the Nokia Lumia 900 exclusively here in the Philippines. That gives them the lead in the total number of Lumia handsets to 3 (610, 710, and 900). Globe, on the other hand, will exclusively offer the Nokia Lumia 800 and they will also carry the Nokia Lumia 610.
We managed to clarify this whole matter when we accidentally bumped into the Corp Comm Manager of Nokia Philippines, Ms. Nikka Abes. Apparently Smart has FIRST-TO-MARKET rights for the Nokia Lumia 900. Globe will eventually carry the Nokia Lumia 900 after a certain period of time.
We’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to Globe, Smart, Nokia, and our readers for the confusion!
