Espoo, Finland - Nokia has been ranked No.1 in The Economic Times-Brand Equity's
annual 'Most Trusted Brands' survey for 2010 in India, marking Nokia's
recognition as India's most trusted brand for three consecutive years. Nokia has
appeared in the survey since 2005, and has held the first position in
2008, 2009 and now, 2010.

Nokia's leadership rating over the years in this survey is also an indicator of
the dramatic impact mobility has on India's consumers over the years.  India has
been among the fastest growing telecom markets in the world with an estimated
current mobile subscriber base in excess of 670 million subscribers.

"Nokia has always been a consumer-centric company and a consumer award for
'trust' is the pinnacle of all awards.  This award is a testament to our team's
deep focus and determined efforts to better understand the needs of the evolving
Indian consumer and connect with them. Our initiatives for India - ranging from
'made in India, made for India' handsets, services such as Nokia Life Tools and
extensive retail and care networks - are a proof of the fact that we are
continuously striving to make a positive impact on the lives of our consumers,"
said D. Shivakumar, Managing Director, Nokia India Pvt. Ltd.

The award marks the celebration of 15 years of mobility and Nokia in India. The
first mobile phone call was made on a Nokia phone using Nokia network on July
31, 1995.

Brand Equity's 'Most Trusted Brands' survey judges 300 brands from consumer
products and services. Consumers across 13 Indian cities evaluate the brand on
seven key attributes.*
