Hyundai aims for 5pc share

Hyundai Mobile said it will launch up to 10 handsets this year across a range of customer segments.

Hyundai Mobile UK head of marketing and communications Graham Jelfs said: "The difference between us and the likes of Palm and Toshiba is that Hyundai Mobile has a broad portfolio of handsets that covers most of the market segments.

"We have a complete range of handsets whereas others manufacturers are targeting specific niche markets. We will have 10 products to release by May this year in the UK.

"We won’t release all 10 handsets in the UK but having a selection gives us more opportunities. We hope to announce partnerships with distribution and network operators in the next two months."

Hyundai Mobile UK said it aims to grab up to five per cent of the market share in the next five years.
