Nokia Oyj, struggling to revive U.S. sales, will start offering a handset through the country’s largest wireless carrier for the first time in three years, targeting new smartphone users.
Verizon Wireless will start selling the Lumia 822 as part of its “fall portfolio,” Nokia said today in a statement, without giving exact date or price details. The device is aimed at those moving up from a more basic handset or seeking to transfer from a BlackBerry, for example, said Chris Weber, head of sales and marketing.
