It's all about sharing

Nokia found that over 50 percent of users in India and Pakistan and 30 percent in Vietnam share their phones. Accordingly, the world's largest cell phone maker released two new models optimized for sharing. Among the new features are a cost-tracking application, multiple phone books, and software in 80 languages.

Paying attention to customers in emerging markets has paid off. The Finnish firm has posted record quarterly results: over 77 million units sold in Asia, the Middle East and Africa - almost doubling its sales in Europe and North America (42.3 million).
