Espoo, Finland -Nokia's latest entertainment smartphone, the highly anticipated
Nokia N8 with Ovi services, has started shipping. Customers who have placed a
pre-order for the Nokia N8 in Nokia Online Shops and Nokia retail stores will be
the first to receive their Nokia N8. Market availability will vary by country
and by operator, with broad availability in the coming weeks.

"With the N8, and the new Symbian software, we are bringing a familiar, faster
and more intuitive user experience to the world's most popular smartphone
platform. The Nokia N8 has received the highest amount of consumer pre-orders in
Nokia history and we are thrilled to start shipments of the N8, the first of
Nokia's new Symbian smartphone range," says Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President,
Smartphones, Nokia.

"To appeal to today's high-end buyers, smartphones have to be enjoyable, useful
and beautiful. Ease of use, excellent multimedia performance and elegant design
are all essential elements of the package," says John Delaney, Research
Director, IDC.

The first of a series of smartphones based on the new Symbian, the Nokia N8 is
fast and easy to use and supports true multitasking, allowing users to run
multiple apps simultaneously and switch between them easily. Dubbed the world's
best camera phone, the Nokia N8 lets you take the highest quality photos and
shoot HD-quality videos in supreme clarity with the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss
optics. You can edit photos and videos on-screen and choose from multiple ways
to share them; transfer large files to an external hard-drive with
USB-on-the-go, or upload photos to social networks like Facebook, Twitter or
RenRen straight from the homescreen.  All this is delivered in a robust aluminum
body in a range of vibrant colors with a real-glass 3.5" AMOLED display.

The Nokia N8 has a black belt in entertainment. Its WebTV apps from channels
like E! Entertainment, National Geographic and CNN and the intuitive music
player inject an element of fun into idle moments.  Plug the device to the home
entertainment center to watch HD-quality videos from the big screen with full
Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound.  The latest version of Ovi Store, available
first on the Nokia N8, gives easy access to more apps - from social networking
services like Foursquare to games like Need for Speed Shift or productivity apps
like Tesco in the UK.

Like other Nokia smartphones, the Nokia N8 comes with free Ovi Maps walk & drive
navigation in more than 70 countries worldwide, with no hidden costs. The latest
beta release of Ovi Maps is also available for download from Nokia Beta Labs for
the Nokia N8. It features visibility to public transport in 85 cities around the
world, as well as real-time traffic, safety camera alerts, visibility to parking
and petrol stations, and speed limit warnings.
