Calling All Innovators contest highlights mobile content for North America

San Francisco, CA, USA - Developers now have 10 million more reasons to create
their next great app on Nokia smartphones. Nokia and AT&T* announced today an
unprecedented developer contest with USD 10 million in cash and prizes. Winning
applications are selected by Nokia, AT&T and, for the first time, by consumers
who can use their downloading power to indicate their favorites.

The 2010 Calling All Innovators, North America contest is open to developers
from around the world to create apps for North American consumers. All submitted
apps will be made available exclusively for download via the Ovi Store by Nokia
which is filled with thousands of apps, games and media from the content
industry's biggest names along with independent developers. With AT&T as the
exclusive co-judge, developers have a unique opportunity to get started today
developing for the latest Nokia devices including the Nokia N8.

Nokia, in conjunction with AT&T, is also inviting developers to a free session,
hosted during CTIA Enterprise and Applications in San Francisco, for a special
tour of Qt and Nokia Web Runtime and Java tools. Additionally, each
participating developer will receive a complimentary Nokia N8 developer pack
from Nokia. Developers can register for the free session at:

Calling All Innovators, North America
Developers have until January 28th, 2011, to submit their applications in more
than 17 categories. For the first time, consumers will contribute to the
finalist selection process by "voting" with their download power; the number of
downloads - both free and paid - counts as part of the winning criteria. The
final judging will be made by Nokia and AT&T where three winners in each
category will be selected. Additionally, an overall contest app and game will be
selected as grand prize winners. Category prize winners receive USD 150K each
for a total of USD 4 million and grand prize winners receive an additional USD
100K each. Although submissions must be relevant for the North American
consumer, developers from around the world can participate.

Winning developers will also receive more than USD 6 million in marketing
promotion by Nokia and AT&T in the North American market.

"The commitment from Nokia is a clear message that we are serious about the
North American market," said Purnima Kochikar, VP Forum Nokia. "Developers have
the tools, the support from AT&T and the marketing power of Nokia to get
visibility for their apps", she added. "Additionally, developers can make their
Qt-based app available in Ovi Store to Nokia customers globally reaching tens of
millions of customers."
