Nokia Goes Head-To-Head With Apple In London

From our sister site mocoNews: Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is really getting into the “music-phone battle” with Apple, going as far as to open a flagship store on Regent Street in London in November, just steps from Apple’s store in London…the store is designed by the same firm that designed the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) stores. “Nokia and Apple have different brand images. Nokia claims the timing of its UK music push (at about the same time as Apple launches the iPhone in Britain) is “purely a coincidence”, which is probably true—Nokia has been planning this for a fair while. However, I’m sure the iPhone is providing a focus for Nokia, which definitely sees it as a strong competitor. Nokia also plans to tackle Apple by releasing multiple handsets that work with its music download service.
