Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) recently entered into a strategic partnership deal with China’s leading direct B2C e-commerce company, 360buy.com, to sell as much as $320 million (RMB 2 billion) worth of phones next year with an aim to reassert itself in the country.

The deal suggests 360Buy is now a formally licensed Nokia vendor, and it has already initiated pre-sales for the Lumia 920 and 920T. At $738 (RMB 4,599), the device has been made available at the high-end of the market, though it’s still cheaper as compared to the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iPhone 5, which retails for $849 (RMB 5,288). 360Buy is also joining hands with Qihoo 360 and Nokia for the launch of the Nokia 2050.[article_detail_ad_1]
