Nokia has started deliveries of its first touch-screen phone, the 5800, the mobile phone maker’s answer to Apple Inc’s iPhone.
The company said last month the model will cost $360 before operator subsidies and taxes, substantially less than the iPhone.
Spurred by Apple, LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics have already rolled out touch-screen phones over the last two years, mostly in developed markets.

Shipments of mobile phones are set to decline in 2009 after several years of seemingly unstoppable growth, while the automotive industry, the only source of profitable growth for many chipmakers in recent years, is scaling back production and laying off thousands...
