Espoo, Finland - In a move to continue driving innovation in its market leading
mobile phone range, Nokia today unveils the super slim Nokia X3 Touch and Type,
with a unique combination of a touch screen and traditional 12 button phone
keypad.  As Nokia's first 'Touch and Type' phone, the Nokia X3 allows people to
tap quickly on the bright color touch screen, as well as enjoy the familiarity
of the full keypad for quick fire text messages and phone calls.  Expected to be
on sale in the third quarter, the Nokia X3 is expected to retail for
approximately EUR 125, excluding taxes and subsidies.

"Innovation is not just a high-end game. The Nokia X3 is a great example of
bringing new consumer value to lower price points," said Mary McDowell,
Executive Vice President of Mobile Phones at Nokia.

"With the Nokia X3 we are giving consumers the best of both worlds by combining
a touch screen and a keypad in an affordable device. We have given people a
larger screen with clear icons and menus plus kept critical keys such as the
send and end keys. We've also added dedicated function keys for important links
like music and text messaging," she said.

"We have designed the Nokia X3 to be a touch and type device because typing is
ideal for SMS and social networking where fast and frequent input is needed,
while touch is ideal for functions such as setting alarms, smooth browsing and
controlling applications like music and games.

"Our research tells us consumers who have invested years in becoming fast
one-handed, one-thumb texters want to maintain their speedy edge for SMS, chat
and instant messaging - yet enjoy the benefits of touch as well," continued
McDowell.

With its sleek and modern design coming in at a very thin 9.6mm - making it one
of the slimmest Nokia phones ever - the Nokia X3 slips easily into the purse or
the pocket, and looks the part with its brushed aluminum back cover which will
come in five vibrant colors designed to suit any mood or wardrobe.

Despite its size, the Nokia X3 is jam-packed with features including 3G, WLAN, a
music player and an FM radio.

Lovers of the snapshot and social networks will enjoy a great 5 megapixel camera
with 4X digital zoom that can take both still and video images.

The Nokia X3 also features dedicated music and messaging keys allowing fast
access to important Ovi services including social and entertainment
applications.  In addition to Ovi Mail, people's favorite consumer email and
chat accounts can be pushed direct to the phone via Nokia Messaging.

With a gentle glide over the touch screen people can go online and get access to
many services including thousands of apps from Ovi Store. In certain markets,
the new phone will also be available with Ovi Music Unlimited, enabling the
owner to access a virtually limitless range of the latest hit music that can be
stored on the available 16GB memory card.

The Nokia X3 - affordable and accessible touch and type which is simple-to-use
and beautifully designed. The Nokia X3 Touch and Type sits alongside the Nokia
X3-00, a slider with strong music functionality, which was launched in September
2009.

The Nokia Mini Speaker MD-11. Pocket-sized speakers for big sound

Music lovers can boost the Nokia X3's inbuilt speaker with some extra 'oomph'
with the new MD-11, a light pocket-size speaker with great audio quality.  For
even more fun, you can connect two for stereo sound - a great way to get the
music out of your phone and enjoy with friends.  The Nokia Mini Speaker MD-11 is
estimated to retail for EUR 25 excluding taxes and subsidies.
