Reuben Lee | Apr 18, 2007

The Finnish mobile phone maker recently announced in a press statement that it will be launching WiMax-enabled handsets early next year. According to news reports, Motorola is also expected to start selling phones with WiMax technology in 2008.

Nokia will join Intel, Motorola and Samsung in supporting the open network standard that allows wireless broadband access from mobile devices over long distances. WiMax, which also stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is expected to make wireless broadband much cheaper to implement than the current 3G networks.
