Cellphone makers focus on rural areas

Giles said one of the biggest challenges to go rural is affordability. Nokia 1100 was launched with a price tag of around 900 yuan. In 2005 the price dropped to about 600 yuan and now sells for less than 400 yuan. The latest, Nokia 1200, expected to be available in the fourth quarter of this year, will be sold at 350 yuan.

But price is not the only thing that counts. A recent survey of 77,000 potential consumers by Nokia found that reliability, durability, ease of use, relevant features and affordability, all affect first-buyers' choices.

Chinese farmers' craze for Nokia 1100 largely stems from its dust-proof feature and in-built flashlight. "Low income does not mean they demand fewer features," said Giles.

Ernst & Young pointed out that "battery life, dust-proof casings and FM radio functionality can act as differentiators in emerging handset markets".

But cost control is the major catalyst for popularization of mobile phones in rural regions and it's not all about handsetretailprices, said Giles, adding that handset expense accounts for only 14 percent of the total so-called ownership cost.

Nokia is now in talks with Chinese cellular operators to introduce call-time tracking to mobile phones to be used in rural regions. According to Nokia's survey, mobile phones are often shared among families or entire villages. The tracking system enables users to set a time or cost limit, automatically ending the call when the limit is reached.

But cracking the rural market remains a tough job for manufacturers as profit margins are much lower than those in premium models sold in big cities. Domestic brands have been dominating the rural market by offering cheaper models, with armies of sales assistants hawking the brands.

But "now they are losing appeal as foreign makers like Nokia and Motorola are expanding their presence in the rural market with even cheaper models", said David Li,CEOof New York-listed Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co Ltd, which controls domestic handset maker CECT Telecom Co.
