"At Nokia, we believe that connecting people with great mobile experiences is at
the heart of what Ovi is all about," said Tero Ojanperä, executive vice
president, Services, Nokia.  "Today people discover Ovi through Maps, Music,
Messaging, Store and Life Tools. With a new generation of amazing devices, like
the Nokia N8, developers are looking at Ovi as a good business decision and a
chance to innovate and create next-generation mobile experiences for our family
of new Symbian smartphones."

Other milestones include:

- An updated Ovi Store experience - debuting on the newly available Nokia N8 and
coming to the full range of new Symbian smartphones - giving a friendlier look
and feel, faster content discovery and more popular content choices such as
foursquare and the smash hit game Angry Birds.

- Improvements for developers including new development tools and benefits such
as free Java and Symbian signing, in-app purchase and beta in-app advertising
programs, improved revenue share and advanced developer analytics.

- Significant enhancements to the Nokia Qt Software Development Kit (SDK) have
resulted in a 70 percent reduction in the number of lines of code required when
developing for the company's family of Symbian smartphones.

- Continued expansion of Ovi Maps around the world and the integration of more
new features. Walk and drive navigation is available in 78 countries and 46
languages and includes public transit details in more than 80 cities, and
features such as check-in that supports location as the new social connector.
Every day, maps usage is the equivalent of driving around the world 80 times.

- Available in 38 markets around the world and with approximately 11 million
tracks in the global catalogue, Ovi Music is complemented by the popular
interconnected Gig Finder app that uses personal music preferences to find
relevant entertainment venues. Nokia is the largest single source of digital
downloaded music revenue in Brazil, Mexico, India, Finland and South Africa.

- Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat have surpassed 17 million accounts, Nokia Messaging
currently delivers push email and instant messaging to an active user base of 4
million people, and new social networking features on the Nokia N8 and other new
Symbian-powered devices enhance Facebook and Twitter with a more seamless
experience.

- In less than a year, Ovi Life Tools and its agricultural, educational and
entertainment services for entry markets has attracted more than 4.7 million
subscribers in China, India and Indonesia.

Ovi is designed to be the perfect complement to a Nokia device. It connects the
real world with what is relevant in the digital world - resulting in an enriched
mobile lifestyle marked by easy access to popular apps and games, the world's
best maps, millions of locally relevant music choices, great messaging
