Nokia Showcases Leadership in Converged Devices, Internet Services and Exciting New 'Green' Initiatives

- Consumer experiences take center stage with Nokia at CES 2008 -

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At this year's Consumer
Electronics Show (CES), Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is showcasing the industry's
widest array of wireless devices and is dedicating more exhibit space than
ever before to hands-on demonstrations of Nokia-branded and third-party
wireless applications, services and mobile experiences. This increased
emphasis is a direct result of the growing importance of software and
services in the wireless industry, and reflects Nokia's evolution from a
pure manufacturer of wireless hardware into a true Internet company.
Another area of emphasis within the Nokia exhibit is the environment, and
how Nokia has been leading the way in developing and utilizing
environmentally responsible business practices. Nokia's exhibit at CES 2008
is located in the upper level of the Las Vegas Convention Center's south
hall, booth #30313.

"Nokia is proud to be connecting more people around the world than
anyone else as the world's leading manufacturer of wireless handsets, and
the leader in converged mobile devices. However, we are even more excited
about the future of mobility, and how Nokia's new focus on services is
setting the stage for the transformation of the entire wireless industry,"
said Mark Louison, President, Nokia Inc. "Most importantly, Nokia is
focused on achieving its goals in a way that looks not only at the future
of mobility, but is also mindful of the future of our environment as well."

The leader in converged devices



Further cementing its position as the global leader in converged
devices, Nokia today introduced the Nokia N95 8GB, optimized for the
Americas market. The Nokia N95 8GB builds upon the legacy of the successful
Nokia N95 by adding an even larger display and built-in 8GB of internal
memory while supporting high-speed HSDPA networks on the 850MHz and 1900MHz
bands that are prevalent across the Americas. Additionally, Nokia
introduced a stunning limited-edition bright red version of the multiple
award-winning Nokia N95 for the US which includes the full suite of highly
acclaimed features that consumers across the globe are craving. Only 5,000
units of this special red Nokia N95 will be available during first quarter
of 2008. This new limited edition red version of the Nokia N95, along with
the current black and bronze versions, has an estimated retail price of
$599.

The multi-award winning business-class Nokia E61i, was today named the
"Best Mobile Handset for Enterprise" by InfoWorld and will be among the
full range of Nokia's converged devices on demonstration in the Nokia
exhibit. In addition, Nokia will also be highlighting the eagerly
anticipated, award-winning Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, the
musically-inclined Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and Nokia 5610 XpressMusic
handsets and unique new mobile enhancements like the Nokia Power Pack DC-1
for easy recharging on the go and the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-902, which
includes its own display for caller ID and phonebook access.

Consumer experiences in the spotlight

More than half of Nokia's CES exhibit will be dedicated to
demonstrating the consumer experiences that are the driving force behind
Nokia's transition into an Internet company. Some of the services and
applications on display include Nokia Maps; a fully-featured mapping and
navigation application that is available for Nokia's S60-based converged
devices, Widgets; lightweight, web-based applications that deliver
personalized content to Nokia devices, N-Gage; Nokia's advanced, connected
wireless game service, and Nokia Internet Radio, which delivers an
ever-growing selection of Internet radio stations directly to any Nokia
S60-based handset.

Along with these Nokia services, a number of exciting third-party
applications will also be highlighted at the Nokia CES 2008 exhibit. These
include SlingPlayer, which allows users to experience their home television
directly from their wireless device via Wi-Fi or 3G networks, Rhapsody, the
service that transforms the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet into a virtual
jukebox with millions of songs on demand, and Skype, the popular VoIP
service that is now available for the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.

Driving responsible environmental practices

Nokia has long been the recognized leader in driving responsible
environmental practices, and at CES 2008, a number of these innovations
will be on display. The recently announced Nokia 3110 Evolve will be shown
for the first time in North America. The device features a range of
environmentally-focused features including covers which are made from over
50% renewable bio-materials, reduced size packaging, and a new charger that
uses 94% less energy than required by Energy Star standards.

With an eye to the future, the Nokia Eco Sensor concept will also be
shown for the first time in North America at CES 2008. The Nokia Eco Sensor
concept examines how green technologies may be used in the future to create
ever more sustainable devices. Inspired by the "three R's" principle --
reduce, reuse and recycle -- the concept explores a range of potential new
materials and technologies such as printed electronics, bio-materials and
reclaimed materials. It also looks at ways that mobile technology could
employ mobile sensing to monitor and report on both the health of the user
and the surrounding environmental conditions.

Within the environmental display, Nokia will also have a recycling
collection point where CES attendees can drop off old mobile phones and
accessories for proper recycling. Visitors to the exhibit will also be able
to see some of the environmental services available through Nokia devices.
