HELSINKI, FINLAND: Nokia is committed to get back the No.1 position in smartphones and plans to use no other software than Symbian and Linux MeeGo, head of its mobile solutions unit said on Friday. "It's my aim to ensure Nokia stays as the market and intellectual leader in creating the digital world," Anssi Vanjoki wrote in a blog on Nokia's website.

"There is no denying, that as a challenger now, we have a fight on our hands. The first battle is to bring you products and services you will want to own and use."

The world's top cellphone maker warned in mid-June second-quarter sales and profits at its key phones unit would be weaker than expected as it struggles to compete against Apple's iPhone. Nokia also said 2010 profit margin at the phone business would be weaker.

Vanjoki noted it would be a tough task to make Nokia the leader in smartphones again, but added the company has all the assets "to produce killer smartphones and market-changing mobile computers."

"Symbian and MeeGo are the best software for our smartest devices. As such, we have no plans to use any other software," he said, adding "there are no plans to introduce an Android device from Nokia."
