If the numbers are any indication, the September 16 launch of the N96 from Nokia holds great promise, according to analysts.

The smartphone, priced at Rs 34,999, is also expected to affect Apple iPhone's sales in India.

"The applications and content that are being pre-bundled with the N96 will be a big draw for users looking for a multimedia-rich, GPS-based device," says Devinder Kishore, director (marketing), Nokia India.
