Stuttgart, Germany - Nokia and Telecom Italia announced today the new
offer of Nokia Messaging, an easy-to-use messaging service, to
Telecom Italia customers in Italy. From the middle of September,
Telecom Italia customers will be able to access the Nokia Messaging
push email service and subscribe offers designed to send and receive
email from the mobile phone at very affordable prices.

With the new offering MAXXI Mail, all TIM customers will have 1 GB of
storage a month to check their email while on the move at a cost of
EUR 4 per month including VAT. The offer is valid for those customers
who choose the top-up option as well as the ones who have a contract.

For business customers, Telecom Italia has studied various formulas
and made available various pricing plans: from the one at daily usage
for EUR 1 a day, dedicated to those who use email "on the move" just
occasionally, to the monthly subscription formula, ideal for those
who use email regularly and who want to combine the use of email in
complete tranquility (unlimited emails) with internet browsing,
always through the mobile phone.

"This agreement contributes to the evolution of the mobile phone that
will increasingly be a tool to access one's ecosystem of private,
family and professional content. TIM believes in this evolution and
wants to experience it alongside its customers," said Oscar
Cicchetti, Head of Domestic Market in Telecom Italia.

"With this service, Nokia and Telecom Italia join forces to drive
mobile messaging adoption for their customers using Nokia solutions
and Telecom Italia special data plans. We are glad to satisfy the
growing consumer demand to access email accounts directly from the
device whenever they want, wherever they are. The objective is to
bring mobile email to everyone and make it easily accessible to the
largest number of users possible," said Alessandro Mondini Branzi,
General Manager, Nokia Italia.

Nokia Messaging simplifies the mobilization of email. This new
solution allows easy access to multiple email accounts by simplifying
the set-up process and removing complex steps. Push technology
ensures a quick delivery of emails directly to the mobile phone.

Nokia Messaging makes the email accounts of Telecom Italia mobile as
well as supports email solutions from thousands of other providers
globally. Telecom Italia customers can have up to ten personal email
accounts pushed directly to their Nokia device such as alice.it,
TIN.it, virgilio.it, Gmail(TM), Yahoo!®Mail, and Windows Live (TM)
Hotmail®.

Telecom Italia and Nokia have agreed to offer Nokia Messaging with
some 30 Nokia Symbian devices, including Nokia E75, Nokia E55, Nokia
N97 and other popular devices such as the Nokia E71 and Nokia N95 8GB
*. 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 and download, read
and attach files on the go.
