Credit: Reuters/Luke MacGregor By Tarmo Virki and Kate Holton HELSINKI/LONDON | Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:16am EDT HELSINKI/LONDON (Reuters) - The scale of the challenge facing Nokia in the all-important smartphones market was underscored on Tuesday when a powerful new handset from Taiwan's HTC overshadowed two new models from the Finnish giant. HTC, the world's fifth-largest smartphone maker, launched HTC Sensation, offering an entire library of movie and TV shows via a wide screen, with a fast 1.2GHz processor which is particularly important for services such as games. Nokia, which dumped its once-dominant Symbian software earlier this year after falling behind Apple in the high-end handset market, launched two new models in a bid to stem customer defections while it works on a new offering. The Nokia phones will run on an improved Symbian software, with new icons, better text input, faster Internet browsing and a refreshed Ovi Maps application, while the company develops its new devices using software from Microsoft. "The new HTC Sensation phone reflects the mountain Nokia needs to climb to close the hardware and software gap with its rivals," said Ben Wood, research director at CCS Insight. "On the day Nokia unveils the 600Mhz X7 'entertainment phone' it has been trumped by HTC's Sensation which has a dual-core 1.2Ghz processor". Apple's iPhone was using 600 MHz processors two years ago. Nokia's new chief executive Stephen Elop dropped Nokia's Symbian software in February, saying the company would instead use Microsoft's unproven technology, after he described it as a burning platform in a widely leaked internal memo. Elop said the Symbian technology was no longer good enough for the future of the world's largest phone maker by volume. THE CHALLENGE FROM ASIA HTC unveiled its new handset in London, touting its easy access to content such as movies and more personalized favorites such as photos, updates from social networking sites and stock price changes. The phone, which will be aimed at the premium end of the market and will compete with the iPhone among others, will use Google's Android software, which ended the 10-year reign of Nokia's Symbian as the pre-eminent smartphone platform. The phone will also feature HTC Watch, a service that enables users to watch videos from a library of the latest movies and TV shows without having to wait for the content to finish downloading. The new Nokia models, the E6 and the X7, will go on sale for 340 euros ($491.6) and 380 euros respectively excluding subisidies and taxes, later this quarter.
