(InfoWorld) - Three of the world's largest manufacturers of mobile phones will not participate at next year's Cebit trade show, following a review of their marketing activities. BenQ, Motorola, and NokiaÂ will not have their own booth at the Hanover IT trade show in 2007, and rumors abound that other vendors, particularly in the consumer electronics segment, might also skip the annual event. "We won't have our own stand at Cebit but will show our products at the stands of our carrier customers who plan to attend the show," a Motorola spokeswoman said Tuesday. The spokeswoman declined to comment on reasons for the Cebit pullout, saying only the company has made changes to its trade fair marketing strategy in Europe. On Monday, BenQ and its cellular arm, BenQ Mobile, announced its decision not to exhibit at Cebit. The Taiwanese manufacturing group is currently considering a joint appearance at the annual IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin in line with its greater focus on consumer electronics products, it said in a statement. BenQ Mobile, which has taken over the mobile phone manufacturing operations of Siemens, also plans to extend its engagement at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, the manufacturer said. Last month, Nokia, the world's largest handset maker, disclosed its decision to withdraw from Cebit. "We want to focus more on our own house events, such as the Open Studio event, which we held this year in Berlin," Nokia spokeswoman Kristina Bohlmann said Tuesday. Nokia will continue to exhibit at the 3GSM show, a key event for the mobile phone industry and one that the Finnish manufacturer prefers to use to announce new products, according to Bohlmann. "The two shows are only about three weeks apart, and 3GSM comes first, so it's just more important for industry news," she said. Enthusiasm for Cebit among manufacturers of consumer electronics products has been on the wane in recent years, due largely to the perception of many companies that the big and costly show mainly draws business people rather than consumers. Last year, Koninklijke Philips Electronics pulled out of Cebit, and some other big consumer electronics manufacturers, including LG Electronics, are rumored to be mulling a no-show as well.

(InfoWorld) - Nokia plans to fold all its mobile phone development efforts into a single new business unit, reflecting the growing importanceÂ of its business of multimedia and Internet-enabled devices. The new Device unit, as it will be called, will produce all of Nokia's mobile devices, including more traditional mobile phones, as well as Internet-enabled devices like the N series. The products were previously produced by three separate divisions, for mobile phones, multimedia, and enterprise solutions. As part of the reorganization Nokia will also create two other new divisions, called Software & Services, and Markets, to replace its existing structure. The divisions will all be launched on Jan. 1, 2008, the company announced Wednesday. "When we introduced the [current] structure in early 2004, the market was still very voice centric at the time," said Nokia spokeswoman Arja Suominen. "The other areas were small but have grown much since then. So it makes sense to bring all these together in one unit." Nokia said the changes will help to make its product development and manufacturing operations more effective and reduce the time it takes to bring new products to market. "This isn't a cost-cutting exercise," Suominen said. "We seek greater efficiency." The move comes as Nokia faces new low-cost challengers from Asia, as well as markets with high levels of phone penetration in developed countries. The current enterprise solutions unit will be split up, with business phones such as the E90 Communicator and the E61 smart phone to be merged into the device unit, and enterprise systems such as e-mail and security to be rolled into the services & software unit. The services & software unit will also be in charge of all software products, including games, and Internet services, including navigation and music, that consumers can purchase separately. Operating system software, such as the Series 60 OS, will be part of the device unit. The device and services & software units will have their own research and development (R&D) teams. The Nokia Research Center will continue to pursue long-term research at the corporate level. The third new unit, markets, comprises manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing. The changes will also be reflected in Nokia's financial reporting. Beginning next year it will publish financial figures for two segments: devices & services andÂ Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia joined forces with Germany's Siemens last year to form the joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks. The new device unit will be headed by Kai ÃistÃ¤mÃ¶, who is currently in charge of Nokia's mobile phones business group. Niklas Savander, currently in charge of technology platforms, will head the services & software unit. The markets unit will be the responsibility of Anssi Vanjoki, who is currently heading the multimedia business group.
