Macau, China - Nokia today reaffirmed its commitment to TD-SCDMA at
the Mobile Asia Congress in Macau.

Mr. Colin Giles, President of Nokia China, said at the event: "Nokia
firmly supports the development of TD-SCDMA. Our goal is to not only
develop TD-SCDMA products that can deliver outstanding user
experiences to consumers, but also to work with operators, chipset
providers, developers and all parties along the value chain to
support the creation of a vibrant TD-SCDMA ecosystem in China."

Nokia has started the development of a TD-SCDMA device based on S60
on Symbian OS, and plans to launch the product before the end of
2009.

 Nokia's S60 TD-SCDMA device will enrich the TD-SCDMA device
portfolio for Chinese consumers, and promote the development of
TD-SCDMA in China.

Symbian is the world's leading smartphone platform, with over four
million developers globally. By launching the S60-based TD-SCDMA
device, Nokia combines Symbian's massive resources with the market
opportunities provided by TD-SCDMA. There are currently over 10 000
third-party S60 on Symbian OS applications commercially available.
The current S60 on Symbian OS applications will be compatible with
S60-based TD-SCDMA devices, offering enriched experiences to China's
TD-SCDMA users.

"We are very excited to hear Nokia's announcement today. Symbian OS
is a mature and leading global mobile device platform, and we believe
that the Nokia TD-SCDMA device will enhance our application offerings
and user experiences," said Mr. Wang Jianzhou, Chairman and CEO of
China Mobile. "We look forward to working together with Nokia to
further drive TD-SCDMA development in China."

"The Symbian platform is an engine for open innovation in the mobile
ecosystem, and a driver of mobile and Internet convergence,"
concluded Mr. Colin Giles" With the development of Symbian-based
applications and services, it will not only benefit the TD-SCDMA
industry, but also facilitate 3G services in China."
