Note 1 relating to NAVTEQ: On July 10, 2008, Nokia completed the
acquisition of NAVTEQ Corporation. NAVTEQ is a separate reportable
segment of Nokia starting from the third quarter 2008. Accordingly,
the results of NAVTEQ are not available for the prior periods.

Note 2 relating to non-IFRS results: Non-IFRS results exclude special
items for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS results exclude
intangible asset amortization, other purchase price accounting
related items and inventory value adjustments arising from i) the
formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and ii) all business acquisitions
completed after June 30, 2008. More specific information about the
exclusions from the non-IFRS results may be found in this press
release on pages 3 and 11-16 for the quarterly periods and pages 24
-29 for the full year 2008 and 2007.

Nokia believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors
regarding Nokia's performance by excluding the above-described items
that may not be indicative of Nokia's business operating results.
These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation
or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be
used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s)
in the reported results.

A reconciliation of the non-IFRS results to our reported results for
Q4 2008 and Q4 2007 as well as for full year 2008 and 2007 can be
found in the tables on pages 11-16 and 25-29 of this press release. A
reconciliation of our Q3 2008 non-IFRS results can be found on pages
12-16 of our Q3 2008 Interim Report of October 16, 2008.

Note 3 relating to Nokia Siemens Networks:  The results of Nokia
Group and Nokia Siemens Networks for the full year 2008 are not
directly comparable to the results for the full year 2007, which
include the results of Nokia's former Networks business group for the
first quarter 2007 and those of Nokia Siemens Networks from April 1,
2007 through December 31, 2007.

9% year on year and down 2% sequentially.
- Nokia mobile device volumes of 113.1 million units, down 15% year
on year and down 4% sequentially.
- Nokia estimated mobile device market share of 37% in Q4 2008, down
from 40% in Q4 2007 and down from 38% in Q3 2008. The full year 2008
estimated market share was 39%.
- Nokia mobile device ASP of EUR 71, down from EUR 72 in Q3 2008.
- Devices & Services gross margin of 33.8%, down from 36.5% in Q3
2008.

2008)
- Nokia Siemens Networks net sales of EUR 4.3 billion, down 5% year
on year and up 24% sequentially (down 4% and up 23% at constant
currency).
- Nokia Siemens Networks achieved substantially all of the EUR 2.0
billion of targeted annual cost synergies by the end of 2008.
- Operating cash flow was negative EUR 0.3 billion, including the
one-time EUR 1.7 billion lump-sum cash payment made to Qualcomm as
part of the previously announced license agreement. Excluding the
Qualcomm payment, operating cash flow was EUR 1.4 billion.
- Total cash and other liquid assets of EUR 6.8 billion at the end of
Q4 2008.

OLLI-PEKKA KALLASVUO, NOKIA CEO:
"In recent weeks, the macroeconomic environment has deteriorated
rapidly, with even weaker consumer confidence, unprecedented currency
volatility and credit tightness continuing to impact the mobile
communications industry. We are taking action to reduce overall costs
and to preserve our strong capital structure. This is clearly our top
priority in the current economic environment. However, it is
important for Nokia to continue investing at the proper pace in
future growth. We believe Nokia has a tremendous opportunity to
capture value as the Internet services market evolves and grows.
Being a catalyst for change has been our heritage and it will be our
future."

INDUSTRY AND NOKIA OUTLOOK
- Nokia expects industry mobile device volumes in the first quarter
2009 to decline sequentially to a greater extent than the seasonal
sequential decrease in the first quarter of the past few years.
- Nokia expects its mobile device market share in the first quarter
2009 to be at approximately the same level sequentially.
- While noting the extremely limited visibility, Nokia now expects
2009 industry mobile device volumes to decline approximately 10% from
2008 levels. Nokia expects the decline to be greater in the first
half than in the second half of the year. This is an update to
Nokia's earlier estimate that 2009 industry mobile device volumes
would decline 5% or more from 2008 levels.
- Nokia continues to target an increase in its market share in mobile
devices in 2009.
- Nokia now targets its non-IFRS operating margin in Devices &
Services to be more than 10% in the first half 2009 and to be in the
teens for the second half 2009, rather than in the teens for the full
year 2009 as previously targeted.
- Nokia targets its annualized non-IFRS operating expense run rate in
Devices & Services to be lower than EUR 6 billion by the end of 2010.
This would represent a reduction of more than EUR 700 million to the
annualized run rate at the beginning of 2009. Nokia targets that a
majority of the reduction will happen during 2009.
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks continue to expect the mobile
infrastructure and fixed infrastructure and related services market
to decline 5% or more in Euro terms in 2009, from 2008 levels.
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks continue to target for Nokia
Siemens Networks market share to remain constant in 2009, compared to
2008.

Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia's mobile device
market share for the fourth quarter 2008 was 37%, compared with 40%
in the fourth quarter 2007 and 38% in the third quarter 2008. Our
year on year market share decline was driven primarily by lower
market share in Middle East & Africa, Greater China, North America
and Asia-Pacific. This was partially offset by slightly higher market
share in Europe and Latin America. Our sequential market share
decline was driven primarily by lower market share in Greater China,
Middle East & Africa, North America and Asia-Pacific. Our market
share was sequentially up in Latin America and Europe. We believe
that, due to extreme currency volatility, our market share in the
fourth quarter 2008 in some geographic areas may have been affected
by products being re-routed by the distribution channels for sale to
consumers in other geographic areas, particularly in Europe and
Middle East & Africa.

Our mobile device average selling price (ASP) in the fourth quarter
2008 was EUR 71, down from EUR 83 in the fourth quarter 2007 and down
from EUR 72 in the third quarter 2008. The lower year on year ASP was
primarily due to a higher proportion of sales of lower priced
products. Our ASP was little changed on a sequential basis due
primarily to a similar product mix in the third and fourth quarters
2008. Starting from the first quarter 2008, our ASP excludes net
sales from our services and software business. Prior periods have
been reclassified for comparison purposes.

Fourth quarter 2008 Devices & Services net sales declined 27% to EUR
8.1 billion, compared with EUR 11.1 billion in the fourth quarter
2007. At constant currency, Devices & Services net sales would have
decreased 25%. The net sales decline resulted primarily from lower
volumes in all regions, combined with an ASP decline, driven by
weaker demand, a higher proportion of sales of lower priced products
and general price pressure compared to the fourth quarter 2007. Of
our total Devices & Services net sales, services and software
contributed EUR 158 million in the fourth quarter 2008 and were up
37% sequentially.

Net sales grew in Devices & Services year on year in Latin America.
Net sales were down year on year in Middle East & Africa, North
America, Asia-Pacific, Greater China and Europe.

Devices & Services reported gross profit and non-IFRS gross profit
decreased 37% to EUR 2.8 billion, compared with EUR 4.3 billion in
the fourth quarter 2007, with a reported gross margin and non-IFRS
gross margin of 33.8% (38.9%). The year on year gross margin decrease
was primarily due to a higher proportion of sales of lower end, lower
margin devices, and a lower proportion of new high-end, higher margin
devices during the fourth quarter 2008.

Devices & Services reported operating profit decreased 70% to EUR 766
million, compared with EUR 2.6 billion in the fourth quarter 2007,
with a reported operating margin of 9.4% (23.3%). Devices & Services
non-IFRS operating profit decreased 61% to EUR 983 million, compared
with EUR 2.5 billion in the fourth quarter 2007, with a non-IFRS
operating margin of 12.1% (22.8%). The 61% year on year decrease in
non-IFRS operating profit for the fourth quarter 2008 was driven
primarily by lower net sales compared to the fourth quarter 2007.

NAVTEQ
(Comparisons are given to the third quarter 2008)
Fourth quarter 2008 NAVTEQ reported net sales increased 31%
sequentially to EUR 205 million, compared with EUR 156 million in the
third quarter 2008. NAVTEQ reported gross profit was EUR 180 million
(EUR 138 million), with a gross margin of 87.8% (88.5%). Non-IFRS
gross profit was EUR 181 million (EUR 139 million), with a non-IFRS
gross margin of 87.9% (88.5%). NAVTEQ had a reported operating loss
of EUR 73 million (EUR 80 million loss). The reported operating
margin was -35.6%(-51.3%). NAVTEQ non-IFRS operating profit was EUR
53 million (EUR 29 million), with a non-IFRS operating margin of
25.7% (18.5%).

Nokia Siemens Networks
Fourth quarter 2008 net sales decreased 5% to EUR 4.3 billion,
compared with EUR 4.6 billion in the fourth quarter 2007. At constant
currency, Nokia Siemens Networks net sales would have decreased 4%.

The following chart sets out Nokia Siemens Networks net sales for the
periods indicated, as well as the year on year and sequential growth
rates, by geographic area.

Nokia Siemens Networks reported gross profit decreased 17% to EUR 1.1
billion, compared with EUR 1.4 billion in the fourth quarter 2007,
with a gross margin of 26.1% (29.7%). Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS
gross profit decreased 6% to EUR 1.3 billion, compared with EUR 1.4
billion in the fourth quarter 2007, with a non-IFRS gross margin of
30.4% (30.4%). The lower year on year non-IFRS gross profit in the
fourth quarter 2008 was due primarily to lower year on year net
sales.

Nokia Siemens Networks had a fourth quarter 2008 reported operating
loss of EUR 179 million compared with a reported break-even operating
result in the fourth quarter 2007, with a reported operating margin
of -4.1% (0%). Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating profit
increased 15% to EUR 225 million in the fourth quarter 2008, compared
with EUR 195 million in the fourth quarter 2007, with a non-IFRS
operating margin of 5.2% (4.2%). The year on year improvement in
Nokia Siemens Networks non-IFRS operating profit primarily reflected
lower operating expenses.

NOKIA IN THE FOURTH QUARTER 2008
(The following discussion is of Nokia's reported results. Comparisons
are given to the fourth quarter 2007 results, unless otherwise
indicated.)

As of January 1, 2008, our three mobile device business groups,
Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions, and the
supporting horizontal groups were replaced by an integrated business
segment, Devices & Services. Prior period results for Nokia and its
reportable segments have been regrouped for comparability purposes
according to the new reportable segments (on an unaudited basis).
Devices & Services has three business units, Devices, Services and
Markets, supported by a Corporate Development Office. Link to
regrouped 2007 financials: 

http://investors.nokia.com

On July 10, 2008, Nokia completed the acquisition of NAVTEQ
Corporation. NAVTEQ is a separate reportable segment of Nokia
starting from the third quarter 2008. Accordingly, the results of
NAVTEQ are not available for the prior periods.

Nokia's net sales decreased 19% to EUR 12 662 million (EUR 15 717
million). Net sales of Devices & Services decreased 27% to EUR 8 141
million (EUR 11 141 million). Net sales of NAVTEQ were EUR 205
million. Net sales of Nokia Siemens Networks decreased 5% to EUR 4
338 million (EUR 4 583 million).

Operating profit decreased 80% to EUR 492 million (EUR 2 492
million), representing an operating margin of 3.9% (15.9%). Operating
profit in Devices & Services decreased 70% to EUR 766 million (EUR 2
594 million), representing an operating margin of 9.4% (23.3%).
Operating loss in NAVTEQ was EUR 73 million, representing an
operating margin of -35.6%. Operating loss in Nokia Siemens Networks
was EUR 179 million (EUR 0 million), representing an operating margin
of -4.1% (0%). Group Common Functions reported expense totaled EUR 22
million (EUR 102 million).

In the period from October to December 2008, net financial expense
was EUR 16 million (net financial income EUR 64 million). Profit
before tax and minority interests was EUR 476 million (EUR 2 573
million). In the fourth quarter 2008, Nokia taxes benefited from
Nokia obtaining a favorable high tech qualification assessment in
China. This change as well as certain tax benefits from prior years
resulted in a lower tax rate in the fourth quarter 2008.  Net profit
totaled EUR 576 million (EUR 1 835 million). Earnings per share
decreased to EUR 0.16 (basic) and to EUR 0.15 (diluted), compared
with EUR 0.48 (basic) and EUR 0.47 (diluted) in the fourth quarter of
2007.

NOKIA IN JANUARY - DECEMBER 2008
(The following discussion is of Nokia's reported results. Comparisons
are given to 2007 results, unless otherwise indicated.)

As of January 1, 2008, our three mobile device business groups,
Mobile Phones, Multimedia and Enterprise Solutions, and the
supporting horizontal groups were replaced by an integrated business
segment, Devices & Services. Prior period results for Nokia and its
reportable segments have been regrouped for comparability purposes
according to the new reportable segments (on an unaudited basis).
Devices & Services has three business units, Devices, Services and
Markets, supported by a Corporate Development Office. Link to
regrouped 2007 financials: 

http://investors.nokia.com.

As of April 1, 2007, Nokia results include those of Nokia Siemens
Networks on a fully consolidated basis. Nokia Siemens Networks, a
company jointly owned by Nokia and Siemens, is comprised of the
former Nokia Networks and Siemens' carrier-related operations for
fixed and mobile networks. Accordingly, the results of Nokia Group
and Nokia Siemens Networks for the full year 2008 are not directly
comparable to the results for the full year 2007. Nokia's first
quarter 2007 included the former Nokia Networks business group only.

On July 10, 2008, Nokia completed the acquisition of NAVTEQ
Corporation. NAVTEQ is a separate reportable segment of Nokia
starting from the third quarter 2008. Accordingly, the results of
NAVTEQ are not available for the prior periods.

Nokia Group
For 2008, Nokia's net sales decreased 1% to EUR 50.7 billion (EUR
51.1 billion in 2007). Net sales of Devices & Services for 2008
decreased 7% to EUR 35.1 billion (EUR 37.7 billion). Net sales of
Nokia Siemens Networks increased 14% to EUR 15.3 billion (EUR 13.4
billion). Net sales of NAVTEQ for the six months ended December 31,
2008 were EUR 361 million.

In 2008, Europe accounted for 37% (39%) of Nokia's net sales,
Asia-Pacific 22% (22%), Greater China 13% (12%), North America 4%
(5%), Latin America 10% (8%), and Middle East & Africa 14% (14%). The
10 markets in which Nokia generated the greatest net sales in 2008
were, in descending order of magnitude, China, India, the UK,
Germany, Russia, Indonesia, the US, Brazil, Italy and Spain, together
representing approximately 50% of total net sales in 2008. In
comparison, the 10 markets in which Nokia generated the greatest net
sales in 2007 were China, India, Germany, the UK, the US, Russia,
Spain, Italy, Indonesia and Brazil, together representing
approximately 50% of total net sales in 2007.

Nokia's gross margin in 2008 was 34.3%, compared to 33.8% in 2007.
Nokia's 2008 operating profit decreased 38% to EUR 5.0 billion,
compared with EUR 8.0 billion in 2007. Nokia's 2008 operating margin
was 9.8% (15.6%). Nokia's operating profit in 2008 included purchase
price accounting items and other special items of net negative EUR
1.9 billion (net positive EUR 288 million). Devices & Services
operating profit decreased 23% to EUR 5.8 billion, compared with EUR
7.6 billion in 2007, with a reported operating margin of 16.6%
(20.1%). Devices & Services operating profit in 2008 included special
items of negative EUR 557 million (net negative EUR 4 million).
NAVTEQ's operating loss for the six months ended on December 31, 2008
was EUR 153 million, representing an operating margin of -42.4%.
NAVTEQ's operating loss included purchase price accounting items and
other special items of negative EUR 235 million. Nokia Siemens
Networks had an operating loss of EUR 301 million, compared with a
EUR 1.3 billion operating loss in 2007, representing an operating
margin of -2.0% (-9.8%).  Nokia Siemens Networks operating loss in
2008 included purchase price accounting items and other special items
of net negative EUR 1.1 billion (net negative EUR 1.6 billion).

The global economic slowdown, combined with unprecedented currency
volatility, resulted in a sharp pull back in global consumer spending
in the second half of 2008, particularly in the fourth quarter. The
more limited availability of credit also reduced the purchasing
ability of some trade customers. In 2008, Nokia's net sales and
profitability, in particular in Devices & Services, were negatively
impacted by these factors.

Reported research and development expenses were EUR 6.0 billion in
2008, up 6% from EUR 5.6 billion in 2007. Research and development
costs represented 11.8% of Nokia net sales in 2008, up from 11.0% in
2007. Research and development expenses included purchase price
accounting items and other special items of EUR 550 million in 2008
(EUR 575 million in 2007). At December 31, 2008, Nokia employed 39
350 people in research and development, representing approximately
31% of the group's total workforce, and had a strong research and
development presence in 16 countries.

In 2008, Nokia's selling and marketing expenses were EUR 4.4 billion,
compared with EUR 4.4 billion in 2007. Selling and marketing expenses
for Nokia represented 8.6% of its net sales in 2008 (8.6%). Selling
and marketing expenses included purchase price accounting items and
other special items of EUR 341 million in 2008 (EUR 363 million).

Administrative and general expenses were EUR 1.3 billion in 2008,
compared to EUR 1.2 billion in 2007. Administrative and general
expenses were equal to 2.5% of net sales in 2008 (2.3%).
Administrative and general expenses included special items of EUR 163
million in 2008 (EUR 146 million).

Group Common Functions expenses totaled EUR 396 million in 2008,
compared with an operating profit of EUR 1 709 million in 2007.
Expenses in 2008 included a EUR 217 million loss due to transfer of
Finnish pension liabilities.

Net financial expense was EUR 2 million in 2008 (income of EUR 239
million).

Profit before tax and minority interests was EUR 5.0 billion (EUR 8.3
billion). Net profit totaled EUR 4.0 billion (EUR 7.2 billion).
Earnings per share decreased to EUR 1.07 (basic) and EUR 1.05
(diluted), compared to EUR 1.85 (basic) and EUR 1.83 (diluted) in
2007.

Operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2008 was EUR 3.2
billion (EUR 7.9 billion) and total combined cash and other liquid
assets were EUR 6.8 billion (EUR 11.8 billion). As of December 31,
2008, our net debt-to-equity ratio (gearing) was - 14% (-61% as of
December 31, 2007). In 2008, capital expenditure amounted to EUR 889
million (EUR 715 million).

Devices & Services
In 2008, the total mobile device volume of our Devices & Services
group reached 468 million units, representing an increase of 7% year
on year. Strong year on year volume growth in the first half 2008 was
significantly offset by slowing growth in the third quarter 2008 and
declining volumes in the fourth quarter 2008. The overall industry
mobile device volumes for 2008 reached 1.21 billion units, based on
Nokia's preliminary market estimate, representing an increase of 6%
year on year. Based on our preliminary market estimate, Nokia's
market share grew to 39 % in 2008, compared to 38% in 2007.

Of the total industry mobile device volumes, converged mobile device
industry volumes in 2008 increased to 161 million units, based on
Nokia's estimate, compared with an estimated 117 million units in
2007. Our own converged mobile device volumes were 60.6 million units
in 2008, compared with 60.5 million units in 2007. Nokia shipped over
36 million Nokia Nseries and approximately 10 million Nokia Eseries
devices in 2008.

The following chart sets out our mobile device volumes for the
periods indicated, as well as the year on year growth rates, by
geographic area.

During 2008, Nokia gained device market share in Latin America and
Asia-Pacific. Our device market share decreased in Middle East &
Africa, North America, Greater China and Europe.

In Latin America, Nokia's 2008 market share was up significantly
driven by strong share gains in markets such as Colombia, Mexico and
Brazil as Nokia continued to benefit from its brand and broad product
portfolio. Nokia's significant market share gains in Asia-Pacific
were primarily driven by our strong position in the fastest growing
markets, such as India and Indonesia.

In Middle East & Africa, Nokia's market share declined in 2008 as a
result of market share losses in several markets, including South
Africa, Nigeria and Iran. Our market share declined in North America
in 2008 primarily due to a market share decline in the US.

In Greater China, Nokia continued to benefit from its brand, broad
product portfolio and extensive distribution system during 2008, but
our market share fell partly due to price competition. In Europe, our
market share was slightly down. Nokia's share increased in, for
example, Italy, Russia and Poland, but was more than offset by market
share declines in Germany, Spain, France, Turkey and some other
countries.

Nokia's device ASP in 2008 was EUR 74, a decline of 14% from EUR 86
in 2007. Industry ASPs also declined in 2008. Nokia's lower ASP in
2008 compared to 2007 was primarily the result of a higher proportion
of lower-priced entry level device sales where industry growth was
strong.

Devices & Services net sales 2008 declined 7% to EUR 35.1 billion,
compared with EUR 37.7 billion in 2007. At constant currency, Devices
& Services net sales would have decreased 2%. Volume growth was more
than offset by an ASP decline. Of our total Devices & Services net
sales, services and software contributed EUR 476 million in
2008.

Net sales grew in Devices & Services year on year in Latin America.
Net sales were down year on year in North America, Europe, Middle
East & Africa, Asia-Pacific and Greater China.

Devices & Services gross profit decreased 7% to EUR 12.7 billion,
compared with EUR 13.7 billion in 2007, with a gross margin of 36.3%
(36.5%).

Devices & Services operating profit decreased 23% to EUR 5.8 billion,
compared with EUR 7.6 billion in 2007. Devices & Services operating
margin in 2008 was 16.6%, compared with 20.1% in 2007. The year on
year decrease in operating profit in 2008 was driven primarily by
lower net sales and higher operating expenses compared to 2007.

NAVTEQ

Net sales of NAVTEQ for the six months ended on December 31, 2008
were EUR 361 million. For the six months ended on December 31, 2008,
Europe accounted for 44% of NAVTEQ's net sales, North America 43%,
Middle East & Africa 8 %, Asia-Pacific 2 %, Latin America 2% and
Greater China 1%.

NAVTEQ operating loss for the six months ended on December 31, 2008
was EUR 153 million. NAVTEQ operating margin was of -42.4%.

Nokia Siemens Networks

Net sales of Nokia Siemens Networks increased 14% to EUR 15.3 billion
in 2008, compared with EUR 13.4 billion in 2007. At constant
currency, net sales of Nokia Siemens Networks would have increased
20%. Europe accounted for 37% of Nokia Siemens Network's net sales,
Asia-Pacific 25 %, Middle East & Africa 13 %, Latin America 11%,
Greater China 9% and North America 5%. The results for Nokia Siemens
Networks for 2008 are not directly comparable to the results for
2007, which include the results of Nokia's former Networks business
group for the first quarter 2007 and those of Nokia Siemens Networks
from April 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.

Nokia Siemens Networks had an operating loss of EUR 301 million,
compared with operating loss of EUR 1.3 billion in 2007. Operating
margin of Nokia Siemens Networks in 2008 was -2.0% compared with
-9.8% in 2007. The decrease in operating loss in 2008 resulted
primarily from higher net sales and lower operating expenses and
restructuring costs.
