Nokia said that it is planning to launch between six and twelve new operator-specific handsets for the North American market this year. Nokia's president of North America, Mark Louison, said that the company is working directly with U.S. network operators, including AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, to offer phones catered to each provider. Several of the phones will be available in the first half of the year, with the bulk of them to follow during the second half of 2008. Louison said Nokia hopes to pick up momentum heading into 2009 and regain lost market share. It currently holds only 11% of the U.S. market and ranks fourth behind Motorola, Samsung, and LG.
