Introduction

Mobile users today want their handsets to be converged devices handling multiple
functions, entertainment being the most important among them. They want their
mobile to be fully loaded with top-end features, but they want all that at affordable
costs. Integrated digital camera, music player and stereo FM radio are the three
main features which would drive users towards upgrading their handsets.

These features are available in mid range and high-end handsets so far, and the
common user now demands these features in ordinary handsets which can be
affordable. On the other hand, MMS has failed to catch the fancy of the masses due
to its high costs of transmission over the networks and relatively cheaper alternate
modes of downloading videos available through Internet. Other features like
Games, Calculator, Reminders/Scheduler/Organizer, Polyphonic ringtones etc have
become hygiene features and are a must for any handset. None of these features is
a differentiator anymore. Apart from Integrated Camera, Music player and Stereo
FM radio, a Speaker phone is another feature that emerges as the driver for
replacing the current handset. This feature can be a most cost effective
differentiating feature for the low end phones.

Most handset vendors have been bringing out new models at fairly regular
intervals. The maximum activity takes place at the high end, where the launch of a
newer model makes the older model cheaper, shifting it to the mid segment. The
handset vendors need to address these expectations of the mass market to be able
to entice them towards their products.

3G

is the Third Generation of mobile phone standards and technology, superseding


2.5G. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of
standards under the IMT-2000. 3G networks enable network operators to offer
users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network
capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless
voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile
environment. Additional features also include HSPA data transmission capabilities
able to deliver speeds up to 14.4Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8Mbit/s on the
uplink. Unlike IEEE 802.11 (common names Wi-Fi or WLAN) networks, 3G
networks are wide area cellular telephone networks which evolved to incorporate
high-speed internet access and video telephony. IEEE 802.11 networks are short
range, high-bandwidth networks primarily developed for data. 3G technologies
enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services
while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency.

Mobile Introductiion

Apple i-Phone

This was the most awaited phone in the Indian market. It is now here, but not
before it became famous throughout the rest of the world. Renowned for its chic
design and easy-to-use functions the iPhone has tremendous features such as its
wide and clear screen, iPod, internet capability with classic web browser, GPS
mapping, and last but not lease, a phone.
Apple iPhone is being offered in the USA for the price of $199, so the awaiting
buyers in India expected the same price. Unfortunately, that is not what happened.
To grab hold of this hot item, you will have to shell out Rs.31,000 for the 8GB and
Rs. 36,100 for the 16GB. If you want to pick up more than one, you may consider
flying overseas to make your purchase. Even with airfare included, you may just
save a few rupees!

This is the most talked about phone among the corporate and business people of
India. Loaded with tons of great features, it is one of the slimmest phones in the
touch category. It boasts of the most famous business platform out there Windows
Mobile. This slim trim companion comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional,
it weighs a mere 110 g (with the battery), it is GPS enabled, has a 2.8-inch touch
screen, 4GB internal usage, and will even tell you the weather reports with HTC

NOKIA N96,95,

Finally it’s time to talk about one of the most famous brands on the planet, Nokia.
Nokia N96 is great improvement on the already excellent N95. People are no
longer calling it a mobile but rather, a new multimedia computer as it has virtually
everything a computer should have.
Easily accessing internet videos is a highlight of this sophisticated phone. In select
markets, the integrated DVB-H receiver offers live broadcast TV with an
automatically updating program guide. It also boasts of a 5 megapixel camera,
GPS, Bluetooth wireless technology, WLAN, and a DVB-H Receiver.

BlackBerry Storm 9500

The highly anticipated BlackBerry Storm 9500 today made its first official
appearance, popping up on German Vodafone web site. Images and specs of the
first touchscreen RIM-manufactured device have been floating around the net for
what seems like ages but it hasn’t yet been officially announced. If all the rumored
features are confirmed when the device actually sees daylight then the Apple
iPhone 3G might be up for quite a challenge. The specifications of the BlackBerry
Storm 9500 that are already known include a 3.3” touchscreen with a resolution of
360 x 480 pixels. The tri-band 3G with HSDPA and the quad-band GSM support
makes it capable of global roaming. The Storm 9500 is running on a 624 MHz
CPU and has 192 MB of RAM and utilizes a new version of the BlackBerry OS,
optimized for touchscreen input.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

This phone is based on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System which means it
has a full suite of applications to offer to the user. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is
promoted by the company as offering a convergence of communication features
and entertainment features; this convergence is exactly what people are seeking
from a smart-phone in today’s highly mobile world and allows this new lineup of
phones to compete in the
global marketplace.
What is really impressive
about the Sony Ericsson
Xperia X1 is the fact that
this phone excels in so
many different areas. Some
phones really do well only
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

as a niche phone but very few phones really meet all of the diverse needs of a
single user.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 manages to achieve this rarely-met goal. It has great
Internet and communication services as well as a plethora of entertainment options.

It has a built-in camera and other great standard features expected of today’s advanced phones.
And it really stands out in the area of design. Combined together, these features make this mobile
phone a truly well-rounded cutting-edge phone intended for the smart-phone fan who wants to
have it all.

Review of Literature

• There are many articles being published about iPhone being launched in
India. The iPhone is being compared with the handsets from other
manufactures like Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson etc.

• One of the articles which came in August edition of Digit Magazine titled
as A Taste of What’s To Come by Mr. Michael Brown, has compared
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

iPhone with Nokia’s N96,N95 and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.In this article
Mr. Brown has compared different attributes of iPhone with its major
competitors.

• Also according to an article came on 19 Aug, 2008 in Economic Times


titled Nokia intercepts iPhone with high-end handset, states that the major
rivals of iPhone are coming up with the superior products to outsmart the
iPhone. There are certain loopholes in iPhone such as lack of massage
forwarding facility, 2 Mega pixel camera with no video recording, Bluetooth
can be used only for handsfree, No Cut Copy Paste option, and can only be
used with specified operator. With the latest technology, great features and
state in art design, the competitors are ready to give iPhone the run for their
money.

As reported by TRAI, the mobile telephony sector has almost touched a subscriber
base of 43 million marks (GSM 33.6 million & CDMA 9.4 million) at the end of
quarter ending 30th September 2006. The mobile subscribers’ base stood at almost
43 million as against 37.8 million for the quarter ending 30th June 2006, adding
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

around 5.24 million subscribers in one quarter. Riding on a wave of increasing


growth, mobile telephony in India is expected to rise to a consumer base of over
120 million by 2008, making the telecommunication sector one of the most
lucrative markets for global mobile phone manufacturers & cell phone providers.

Consumers’ Satisfaction Analysis by TRAI

The study assesses the satisfaction level of consumers encompassing quality of


technical service, quality and operational aspects of gadgets; and social /
psychological costs due to unsolicited promotional calls/SMSs etc. The analysis in
this report throws light on the consumption behavior of the mobile phone users in
Delhi and covers the aspects like usage pattern of the mobile phone services,
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

assessment of the level of satisfaction, preference for various attributes and


functionalities of gadgets etc. Apart from this I also referred literature about
consumer purchasing decision in high involvement product like mobile phones.
This provided me knowledge about how information search takes place in this
category and what are the important attributes that customer look for while buying
such a product.

Conclusion
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

Riding on a wave of increasing growth, the mobile telephony in India is expected


to rise to a consumer base of over 120 million by 2008, making the
telecommunication sector one of the most lucrative markets for global mobile
phone manufacturers & cell phone providers. The mobile phone manufacturers
need to be more specific about what features customer want in their handsets. The
features such as

 Synchronization with Computer

 Battery Life (Talk Time & Standby)

 Camera Resolution

 Availability of Bluetooth

 Screen Resolution

 Touch Screen

 Overall Look

 Storage Memory and

 Price
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

According to the research customers consider the above mentioned features above
the other features of the phone and hence the manufactures should give more stress
on making these features better. In terms of choice, it has never been so good for
the consumer. Last year saw several new models being launched. As per rough
estimates, Nokia launched 33 models; Motorola launched 18 models and Sony
Ericsson 17 models. The remaining players launched close to 53 models.

Now even Apple has also launched its i-phone in Indian market but after analyzing
the factor on which the buying decision of Indian customer depends I can say that
i-phone has to face a tough competition to succeed in the Indian market especially
due to the lack of some important features like absence of video recording facility,
autofocus, Bluetooth can’t be used for file transfer, absence of message forwarding
facility etc. and with its competitors coming up with the phone like XPERIA,
Innov8, HTC Diamond, Blackberry Strom, its really going to be a tough time for i-
phone to survive in Indian market.

Summary
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

The report begins with the changing perception of mobile phone buyers. Earlier
mobile was used mainly for voice communication but as the time progressed
buyers started people started using mobile phones for messaging purpose. This
time was known as the 1st generation of mobile phone. Time changed and the
buyers where again looking for some more features in their mobile phones and the
manufactures too where busy in the their R&D to come out with innovative
features, it was the beginning of 2nd generation of mobile phone, when mobile
phones with Camera and MP3 players were introduced. And now we are in the 3rd
generation of mobile phone were we can send Emails, Pictures, Video etc from one
phone to other. This report mainly focuses on the 3rd generation of mobile phone, I
have tried to analysis the features which the customer gives more emphasis when
he/she goes to buy the handset. The result what I got from this research was that
customer nearly 80% of the customer look for the features like Synchronization
with Computer, Battery Life (Talk Time & Standby), Camera Resolution.
Availability of Bluetooth, Screen Resolution, Touch Screen, and Overall Look was
taken into consideration by nearly 74% of the buyers, while 78% of the buyers
prefer to have a Storage Memory and competitive Price. There are other features
also which is considered by the customers but relative to the features mentioned
above they are of less importance.
Aryans Institute of Management & Technology

In the 2nd half of the research I have tried to compare the feature of the most
awaited phone in the Indian market, iPhone from Apple with its major competitors
like Sony, Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry and HTC. As soon as i- phone was
launched in the Indian market, its competitors came into the market with the
superior 3G phone to attract the customer. After comparing the features of these
phones on the basis of the attributes that are consider more when a buyer goes to
buy a handset and also after going through different article about i-phone, I came
to the conclusion that Apple iPhone is going to have really a tough time in Indian
market, as it lacks the features which the Indian customer are very fond of.
