The announcement dispels concerns that Nokia’s Symbain-based handsets could be immediately phased out in the country.

“We will continue to offer Symbian-based products at least till 2016,” said Viral Oza, director, marketing Nokia India.

He was speaking on the sidelines of a Nokia event where the company announced the launch of its two new handsets E6 and X7 based on the Symbain Anna — a newer version of the Symbian operating system.
