Nokia to unveil app store, E75

HELSINKI: The world's top cellphone maker Nokia will unveil its new application store next week, hoping to follow the runaway success of Apple's App Store, two industry sources told Reuters.

One of the sources also said Nokia would unveil a new E75 cellphone model at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. The phone, already on sale on the website of online retailer Expansys, will be available next month in Britain.

The smartphone, with a sideways slide-out full keyboard, will sell for 390 pounds ($563.6), while with an operator contract it will be free in Britain.

Nokia promised in early December to launch 'soon' its own download store, as the Finnish firm merges its current software Download store with free media sharing site Mosh and widget service WidSets.
"This will provide consumers an easy way to get mobile media for their device," Nokia said in December.
