All smartphones produced by Nokia for the enterprise market will, within two years, support dual mode cellular and Wi-Fi capability, a senior executive at the company said, during a session looking into next generation phones at the CTIA Wireless expo, which kicks off officially Monday (March 14). Nigel Rundstrom, vice president of multimedia and channel management at the Finnish handset maker said “how and for what people will use Wi-Fi enabled pones is debatable, but Voice over IP is an obvious application", said Rundstrom.
