Makati City, Philippines - Leading wireless services provider Smart
Communications, Inc (SMART) has recently signed a deal with Nokia to
offer Nokia Messaging on selected Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices.
Nokia Messaging is an easy-to-use messaging service that will be
available on a special data plan to SMART subscribers beginning
September 26, 2009. The Nokia Messaging plan will initially be
offered with the Nokia E75 and will also be offered to other Nokia
Messaging capable devices in the near future.

"SMART is pleased to be the first operator to bring Nokia Messaging
in the Philippines. More and more customers - even non-business users
- are looking for a reliable service that allows them to have email
pushed automatically to their handsets while on the move," said
Danilo Mojica, Head of Wireless Consumer Division, SMART.

"The Nokia Messaging service offers all consumers a chance to enjoy
push email service on their Nokia phone. With just a single
application on a mobile device, our customers can manage multiple
email accounts anytime, anywhere. Nokia Messaging makes it effortless
to set up a push email account, providing an unprecedented ease of
use and convenience to our customers. Coupled with SMART's unrivalled
3G/HSPA network, they will enjoy a superior mobile email experience
and remain connected easily," added Mr. Mojica.

"We want to make mobile messaging as ubiquitous as voice or SMS.
Nokia Messaging gives people simple and affordable mobile access to
the world's most popular email accounts.  We believe mobile messaging
is a critical, must-have feature, and we deliver mobile messaging
solutions to a broad range of Nokia devices, all easily activated
with a few clicks," said Benoit Nalin, General Manager, Nokia
Philippines.

Nokia Messaging mobilizes email from thousands of internet and email
service providers globally.  Customers can have their personal email
accounts pushed directly to their Nokia device from email service
providers such as Ovi, Yahoo!®Mail, Gmail(TM), and Windows Live (TM)
Hotmail®. Customers simply need to enter their email address and
password to get emails pushed directly to the homescreen of their
device. They can then read, send, forward and reply to emails as well
as download, read, forward and attach files on the go. Small medium
enterprises (SMEs) with their own POP/IMAP compliant email servers
can also enjoy push email service with Nokia Messaging.

The Nokia E75 is the first Nokia device to ship with a horizontal
slide-out QWERTY keymat and offers a unified messaging interface that
combines email, MMS and SMS into one application.

SMART Gold subscribers will be able to enjoy unlimited Nokia
Messaging push email service at an affordable price of P299 per month
on the Nokia E75.
