Nokia and China Mobile open the Windows

BEIJING - Nokia Corp plans to introduce phones using Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system, based on China Mobile Ltd's self-developed third generation (3G) mobile networks in the near future, said the company's executive vice-president on Friday.

Colin Giles, executive vice-president of Nokia Corp, who is in charge of the company's global sales, said Nokia has always been committed to China Mobile's Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) technology - the first globally recognized 3G telecommunications standard, led by China.

Giles made the remarks at a news briefing in Beijing on Friday, when China Mobile, the world's biggest telecom carrier by users, officially launched the commercial version of Mobile Market-Nokia store, a joint-brand mobile application outlet, for Chinese TD-SCDMA mobile-phone users.
