Stuttgart, Germany - Today, at Nokia World, the annual destination
for people with passion for mobility, Nokia unveiled a combo that can
change how people connect with each other and offer new and exciting
ways to give everyone, everywhere, the power to make the most of
every moment. With today's news, together with Nokia's recent
announcements - Nokia Money, the Nokia N900, Nokia Booklet 3G, Nokia
5230 and Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition - Nokia expands in new
directions for changing the ways people go about their lives.

Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO, Nokia, commented: "Nokia aims at reaching
the many, not the few, with our rich portfolio of services. We are
doing this through an increasing number of open partnerships with
world leaders in many fields. We are proud to lead the charge in
smartphones and beyond as manifested in the Nokia N900 and Nokia
Booklet 3G, two great examples of how the world is changing and Nokia
is driving this change."

Opening up the next innovative chapter of personal and location-aware
internet, Nokia announced lifecasting with Ovi, a partnership with
the world's largest social network, Facebook. Lifecasting with Ovi is
the first application to let people publish their location and status
updates directly to their Facebook account from the home screen of a
mobile device. Lifecasting goes beyond just publishing your status -
it is about building deeper and closer connections between people. It
triggers new kinds of communication patterns, such as sending
messages or status updates or even navigating to a friend or a place.

Lifecasting will premiere on the new Nokia N97 mini, companion to the
successful Nokia N97. Designed with a social and style-conscious
consumer in mind, the Nokia N97 mini is a smaller mobile computer
with stylish stainless steel cues, featuring a tilting 3.2" touch
display, QWERTY keyboard and fully customizable homescreen that makes
each Nokia N97 mini as unique as a fingerprint. The Nokia N97 mini
delivers a truly personal internet experience in a compact handset
based on the iconic design of the Nokia N97.


Jonas Geust, Vice President of Nokia Nseries, commented: "People want
to bring their physical and online worlds together via the internet.
The Nokia N97 mini is designed for this new social internet and to
help navigate people and places. With lifecasting, the Nokia N97 mini
and Ovi usher in the next chapter of personal and location-aware
internet."

Lifecasting with Ovi will be available for both the Nokia N97 and
Nokia N97 mini via Nokia Beta Labs. The Nokia N97 mini features new
software which will be released in October as a free update for the
Nokia N97. The new software brings compelling new experiences to both
devices, including new homescreen widgets and additional usability
improvements including flick scrolling.

The Nokia N97 mini is powered by a new Ovi Maps experience which
makes searching, finding and navigating even easier. In addition to
global pedestrian navigation, people can access premium content from
Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities, turning the Nokia N97 mini into
the world's smallest travel companion.

Users can personalise the homescreen of their device even further
with thousands of different applications and services available from
the Ovi Store. From games, videos and podcasts to productivity tools
and web services, Ovi Store is the easiest way to fill the Nokia N97
mini's homescreen with applications that reflect individual tastes.
The Nokia N97 mini is expected to begin shipping in October 2009 for
an estimated retail price of EUR 450 before taxes and subsidies.

The Comes With Music story continues with the Nokia X6
Pioneering new ways for the world to experience music, Nokia today
announced the launch of the new Nokia X6. Capable of playing up to 35
hours of music, the Nokia X6 is a powerful entertainment device,
combining 32GB of on-board memory with a slick 3.2" finger touch
interface.

The ultimate device for music lovers and social butterflies, the
Nokia X6 has a 16:9 widescreen optimised for photos, videos and
browsing. With direct access to Ovi Store, the Nokia X6 is a hive of
activity that brings 20 friends and virtual communities, like
Facebook, to your homescreen.


Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia, commented: "The Nokia X6 and Comes
With Music is a powerful combination, enabling music fans to download
all the music they could ever want - quickly, easily and for free.
We're giving people convenient access to and ownership of a vast
music library and an exciting new touchscreen device to play their
music on."

The new Nokia X3 also joins Nokia's music portfolio. The Nokia X3 is
designed for music lovers and is the first Series 40 Ovi
Store-enabled device. The Nokia X3 is a sleek and compact music
device that comes with stereo speakers, built-in FM radio, and a 3.2
megapixel camera.


To make the most of the entertainment experience, Nokia introduced
the Nokia Mini Speaker MD-9, a pocket-size speaker for big sound, and
the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-505, an ergonomic and
lightweight neckband headset for great music and call audio quality
also in noisy environments.

The Nokia X6 has an estimated retail price of EUR 450, with the Nokia
X3 retailing for an estimated EUR 115. Prices are before taxes and
subsidies, and both devices will ship during the fourth quarter of
2009.
