Program Selects and Provides Go-to-Market Support for Small- to
Mid-sized Developers Seeking Access for Applications and Services to
World's Largest Mobile Device Market

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today extended recognition to the initial
group of exceptional mobile application developers in its 2008 Forum
Nokia Innovation Series program, designed to provide select small-
and mid-sized developers with key business and market support and
facilitate access for cutting-edge applications and services to the
largest mobile device market in the world today.

The first eight developers recognized in the 2008 Forum Nokia
Innovation Series cleared multiple selection hurdles over the course
of the past year as part of the selection process, which included
internal Nokia reviews and the screening of application features and
functionality by consumer focus groups around the world. Each
participant in the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation Series was required to
demonstrate that their application or service provided specific
benefits to Nokia mobile device users not otherwise available, and
that a clear market demand existed for such a solution.

The first group of developers in the Innovation Series was recognized
for solutions ranging from a mobile web widget development platform
to applications for location-based social networking, mobile video
streaming, mobile TV-shifting and device data backup, as well as
secure enterprise-grade mobile instant messaging. As part of the
program, the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation Series applications and
solutions are showcased in video demonstrations created by Forum
Nokia and hosted online at Share on Ovi:

their selection as the first participants of our Forum Nokia
Innovation Series," said Tom Libretto, Vice President, Forum Nokia.

The Forum Nokia Innovation Series was launched by Nokia in late-2007
as an ongoing developer discovery, selection and go-to-market
program, designed to support small- to mid-sized mobile developers as
they strive to bring applications and services built to run on Nokia
device platforms to the global mobile marketplace.

Among the benefits to developers, the program offers marketing and
promotional assistance to create and increase general marketplace
awareness of their application among consumers and within the mobile
industry. It also provides assistance with placement of the
application in Nokia and Nokia partner distribution channels and
delivers informed feedback to the developer on industry and consumer
considerations involving application features, functionality and
distribution.
