HELSINKI, FINLAND: Nokia unveiled two new high-end phone models, the N79 and the N85, as the world's top cell phone maker battles against increasing competition from the likes of Apple and Samsung.

Both new phones, upgrades to Nokia's older models, will have 5 megapixel cameras and pre-loaded games.

Both new models will go on sale in October. The N85 will retail for 450 euros ($662), excluding operator subsidies and taxes, and the N79 will go on sale for 350 euros.

Shares in Nokia were 1.8 per cent higher at 17.63 euros by 0852 GMT, outperforming a firmer DJ Stoxx European technology shares index.

Mobile phones can be designed, developed, researched in India besides manufacture, marketing, testing etc. If Indian engineers do not develop expertise in any phase of handsets including research, design, development, manufacture etc, they will lag even further behind.
