NOKIA PRESS RELEASE October 12, 2005

New Nokia Family of Devices Targeted at the Business World

Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 combine the power of 3G and WLAN with advanced voice services and mobile email applications in a variety of designs for every employee

London, UK/ New York, NY, USA – Nokia announced today the addition of three new models to its portfolio of business-optimized devices. The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 – the first of the new Nokia Eseries – are distinctively different in design and allow businesses of all sizes to mobilize their workforce. Nokia Eseries models combine attractive and easy-to-use designs that appeal to individual business users with new underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings, corporate applications and data. Each of the devices is designed to accommodate must-have mobile applications needed in today’s business world like mobile email and advanced voice calling functions. The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and the Nokia E70 will be available in the first quarter of 2006 worldwide.

The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 support today’s most popular and newly announced corporate mobile email solutions like BlackBerry Connect, GoodLink from Good Technology, Inc., Nokia Business Center, Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-On Mail and Visto Mobile.

The new Nokia Eseries devices are built on the latest edition of the Series 60 Platform, the world’s leading smartphone software platform. Series 60 3rd Edition together with Symbian OS v. 9.1 provide an identical application environment for the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70. They include a variety of GSM frequencies and 3G (WCDMA) cellular network support for seamless roaming across different countries, as well as a range of local connectivity options such as WLAN, Bluetooth and Infrared and are USB 2.0 compatible.

The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 also feature superior voice functionality and quality when compared to other devices that combine PDA-like features with a mobile phone. The devices support advanced voice services, such as Internet (Voice over IP) phone calls, Push to talk, and other SIP-based rich call services giving businesses a variety of ways to make it easier for employees to collaborate or respond rapidly in or out of the office. Companies deploying an Avaya or Cisco IP PBX can connect the new Nokia devices directly to their corporate phone networks, enabling functions employees have come to expect from a corporate network like four-digit dialing and assisted call answering.

"When we carefully considered the requirements of our customers when developing these devices, two clear new trends emerged: the need for IT departments’ to have a secure and manageable platform, and the need for devices to support a variety of employee preferences and different working styles," said Niklas Savander, senior vice president of Nokia’s business device unit. "We understand what mobility means for business. These devices embody our extensive knowledge of user-focused functional design, security and cutting-edge wireless technologies. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to choose Nokia devices for all their business mobility needs."

The new business-optimized devices are the first in the industry to support remote device management based on OMA DM* giving the IT manager powerful tools to remotely control and protect corporate data on the device and configure devices via device wipe, device lock or task management, application management and customization, for example. Nokia’s well established competence in network security addresses strict corporate requirements covering information stored on devices, back-office systems and transmitted over networks

The Nokia E60: A classic design with unmatched voice features

The Nokia E60 provides the uncompromised look, comfort and usability of a classically designed mobile phone. Supporting an array of advanced call features from integrated speakerphone and conference calling to voice-aided applications like Push to talk, and IP-based telephony, the Nokia E60 is the best mobile device for active voice communications – in and out of the office. The Nokia E60 offers fast and flexible data connections with WCDMA enabling wide area connections and WLAN offers a cost effective option for local access. Although optimized for one-handed use, its large color screen makes email and calendar entries easy. The Nokia E60 operates in GSM900/1800/1900 and WCDMA2100 networks.

The Nokia E61: Built for mobile email

The Nokia E61 is designed in the familiar style of today’s most popular mobile email devices. Yet it is incredibly slim and packed with powerful new functionality. A cinch to use with either hand, the device has a four-way joystick and full keyboard combined with a wide 16 million color screen making mobile email easier than ever before. Supporting multiple mobile email clients like BlackBerry Connect, GoodLink, Nokia Business Center, Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-On Mail, and Visto Mobile, the Nokia E61 provides seamless and encrypted mobile connectivity. Full attachment handling (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF viewer and ZIP manager) and an editing function (document, spreadsheet and presentation) are included. The Nokia E61 also includes the same advanced business call features and IP-based telephony functions as the Nokia E60 and Nokia E70. The Nokia E61 can send and receive emails, even when on a phone call. The Nokia E61 operates in GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA2100 networks.

The Nokia E70: The all-in-one messaging device

At first glance, the Nokia E70 looks like a modern smartphone. Open it up and find a full messaging keyboard for fast and easy thumb typing, a generous color screen for viewing emails, plus attachments (document, spreadsheet, presentation, PDF viewer and ZIP manager) and an editing function (document, spreadsheet, presentation) for staying up-to-date with the inbox. Like the Nokia E60 and Nokia E61, the Nokia E70 supports a common set of applications like advanced voice and email. Nokia will offer two versions of the Nokia E70 – one optimized for mobile networks in Europe and Asia (GSM900/1800/1900/WCDMA 2100) and one optimized for mobile networks in the Americas (GSM850/1800/1900), yet both versions are able to roam in GSM networks across regions.

Nokia also offers a comprehensive service portfolio for its business devices and solutions ranging from technical support to implementation, professional services and technical training. Nokia’s services are available to better serve customers and enable successful end-to-end mobility solutions.

Nokia to support GSM technology on 450 MHz

Nokia today underlined its interest in GSM technology on the 450 MHz frequency band. Nokia believes that a GSM450 frequency is a viable solution in providing affordable handsets and mobile voice-centered services to new growth areas with a low teledensity.

NOKIA PRESS RELEASE October 11, 2005

Nokia to support GSM technology on 450 MHz frequency band for mobile phones

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today underlined its interest in GSM technology on the 450 MHz frequency band. Nokia believes that a GSM450 frequency is a viable solution in providing affordable handsets and mobile voice-centered services to new growth areas with a low teledensity. For regions licensing a 450 MHz frequency band, GSM technology can provide a cost conscious alternative and thus enable mobile communications for a broad consumer base in very price sensitive markets.

"Nokia believes that reducing the total cost of ownership for both affordable handsets and mobile voice services are the key when it comes to reaching the next billion consumers in new growth markets," says Søren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Nokia Mobile Phones. "The GSM450 frequency can provide a way of giving consumers and operators a choice in taking full advantage of the affordability of GSM technology."

Nokia previously stated it expects the mobile subscriber base to reach three billion by 2010. This growth will be significantly fueled by markets which currently have a low mobile penetration rate. With the right combination of mobile phones, network solutions, services and a regulated environment, Nokia envisions a mobile landscape where operators can profitably offer mobile services to a broader range of consumers for as little as USD 5 per month.

Nokia GSM handsets, such as the recently introduced Nokia 2652 and the Nokia 1600 (for GSM 900/1800/1900), are very popular in entry markets. Potentially Nokia products could bring the benefits of GSM technology to markets that are planning to license the 450MHz frequency band,

London, UK/Espoo, Finland – Nokia (NYSE: NOK), the global leader in mobility, today launched an early access support program to further assist companies developing applications for the growing global market for Symbian OS(TM)-based smartphones, including the popular Series 60 Platform. The new Forum Nokia PRO Symbian Zone, created and managed in cooperation with Symbian, will enable advanced developer companies to have leading edge smartphone technology reference material at their fingertips, helping to rapidly create applications for the next generation of devices.

Forum Nokia PRO, Nokia’s fee-based support program that counts more than 400 of the world’s leading development companies as members, will administer the new program through its Americas, EMEA and Asia regional operations.

Forum Nokia PRO Symbian Zone members will benefit from reduced development time and costs as a result of close cooperation with Nokia and Symbian. One of the primary advantages of membership is exclusive, early access to regular updates of the latest Symbian OS Library for Application Developers, a newly developed resource containing the most up-to-date Symbian OS API documentation. Beginning today all Forum Nokia PRO Symbian Zone members will have access to:

– A comprehensive introduction to the latest Symbian OS release

– System overviews

– C++ API Guide – including overviews by subsystems of all key APIs

– Symbian OS Reference – the definitive source of reference information for all Symbian OS C++ APIs

"Series 60 and Series 80 are the fastest growing developer platforms in the Symbian OS-based smartphone market, presenting an enormous opportunity for the community of registered Forum Nokia developers, today more than two million strong," said Lee Epting, vice president in charge of Forum Nokia. "By working with Symbian to offer intensive support to developers, we can help them to take full advantage of this major opportunity, just as next generation Series 60 devices begin to become available to the mid-level market."

"The Forum Nokia PRO Symbian Zone is an exclusive opportunity created by Symbian and Nokia for members of the PRO community to gain access to the new Symbian OS Library for Application Developers online. Forum Nokia PRO members can now license this Symbian OS Library – for free – well ahead of its commercial availability in a mobile phone SDK, which can significantly contribute to reducing their time to market," said Bruce Carney, Head of Developer Marketing and Services, Symbian.

Access to the Forum Nokia PRO Symbian Zone is free to Forum Nokia PRO member companies who sign a Symbian Affiliate Program license agreement through the Forum Nokia PRO site with Symbian. The PRO Symbian Zone is part of Nokia’s continued commitment to provide relevant, personalized services for PRO member companies.

Nokia Introduces Carbide.c++ New Family of Development Tools for Symbian OS

Carbide.c++ delivers developer productivity across entire Symbian ecosystem, leverages open-source Eclipse framework to encourage innovation and improve efficiency

NOKIA PRESS RELEASE October 11, 2005

Nokia Introduces Carbide.c++, New Family of Development Tools for Symbian OS

Carbide.c++ delivers developer productivity across entire Symbian ecosystem, leverages open-source Eclipse framework to encourage innovation and improve efficiency

London, UK/Espoo, Finland – Nokia (NYSE: NOK), the global leader in mobility, today launched the next generation of Symbian OS(TM) development tools, Carbide.c++ , in an initiative designed to rapidly expand the mobile development community working with Symbian OS (operating system), the global industry-leading operating system for smartphone devices.

The new Carbide.c++ unifies Nokia’s developer tools offering, providing a tiered family of products which offer flexibility to developers at all levels and in all segments of the Symbian ecosystem – from professionals needing powerful debugging support for hardware creation to the novice seeking entry-level access to Symbian application development.

Carbide.c++, developed in cooperation with Symbian and announced today at The Smartphone Show, is built on Eclipse, the rapidly evolving open-source integrated development environment framework designed to encourage software tool innovation. The new family of Carbide .c++ developer tools launched here today includes:

– Carbide.c++ Professional Edition, designed for professional Symbian OS developers who focus on Symbian device development and high performance applications and require early access to next-generation Symbian OS support and technical specifications;

– Carbide.c++ Developer Edition, offering a new graphical Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to ease C++ development for both Series 60 and UIQ mobile platforms, meeting the requirements of advanced-level application developers by providing improved productivity tools for application development and debug on Symbian OS devices; and,

– Carbide.c++ Express, an entry-level tool available for download at no cost and designed to invite all programmers to explore Symbian OS, providing a complete set of application development tools needed to target the Series 60 and UIQ SDKs and to build and deploy applications to devices.

"Nokia’s new family of Carbide.c++ developer tools offers developers an integrated tool chain for developers of smartphone hardware and advanced mobile applications based on Symbian OS," said Heikki Koivu, Director, Development Tools, Nokia. "With the Carbide tools launch, Nokia underscores its commitment to bring premium development products to the rapidly growing universe of developers working across the entire Symbian ecosystem."

Symbian OS is the industry leading standard for open smartphone operating systems. Symbian OS is licensed to all leading handset manufactures including Arima, BenQ, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Lenovo, LG Electronics, Mitsubishi, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sharp, Siemens and Sony Ericsson. During the first half of 2005, more than 14.5 million devices were sold to more than 200 network operators worldwide. The worldwide installed base of Symbian OS mobile phones exceeds 39 million devices.

The new Carbide brand of developer tools provides a single identity for all Nokia’s developer tool offerings. Carbide.c++ is the natural evolution of Nokia’s CodeWarrior for Symbian OS suite of development tools, providing a modern IDE with excellent usability mated to powerful Symbian OS debugging created by Nokia’s Symbian OS development tools team.

All CodeWarrior for Symbian OS customers have a clear and consistent migration to Carbide. Advanced developers working with CodeWarrior Personal Edition will migrate to Carbide.c++ Developer Edition. CodeWarrior Professional and OEM Edition developers will easily migrate to Carbide.c++ Professional. Developers working with CodeWarrior OEM Edition’s JTAG debugging will be offered an optional OEM plug-in to the Carbide.c++ Professional Edition, maximizing the flexibility for customers to acquire and configure Carbide tools according to their needs.

Carbide.c++ Express is designed to attract new developers to the Symbian OS community via the popular Eclipse IDE bundled with no-cost C++ Symbian OS development tools, lowering many barriers for large numbers of novice developers, students, academics, and evaluators to begin developing on Symbian OS.

Nokia’s introduction of Carbide tools provides additional value to its existing tools customers by combining Nokia’s leadership in mobile products and development resources with a new ability to leverage the large developer community that has rapidly congregated around the Eclipse IDE. Nokia has joined the Eclipse foundation as a strategic developer with a commitment that mobile development becomes a core part of the Eclipse promise to software developers.

The entry-level Carbide.c++ Express tool will be available for free download in the first quarter of 2006 at Forum Nokia, UIQ, Symbian and Symbian licensee websites. Carbide.c++ Developer Edition will be available in the second quarter of 2006 from Forum Nokia’s webstore for 299€. Schedules for Carbide.c++ Professional Edition and other Carbide products will be announced separately with shipments expected to commence through the second half of 2006.

Nokia’s Carbide.c++ Express will be showcased Oct. 11-12 at the Symbian Developer Community booth (#126) on the exhibition floor at The Smartphone Show at London’s ExCeL Centre. Further information on the Carbide family of developer tools can be found online at www.forum.nokia.com/carbide.
