Nokia strengthens smartphone portfolio with two new products and a renewed user
experience

Nokia E6 extends business mobility range and Nokia X7 introduces a new
entertainment device for mobile gamers, both using the latest update of Symbian
software

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the Nokia E6 and the Nokia X7, two new
smartphones aimed at business people and entertainment enthusiasts respectively.
The two devices are the first Nokia smartphones to contain the updated Symbian
software, with new icons and usability enhancements such as improved text input,
a faster browser and refreshed Ovi Maps.

"We are further strengthening Nokia's smartphone portfolio with these two new
devices, both of which offer a more beautiful and intuitive user experience that
will soon also be available for the Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-
01," said Jo Harlow, head of Nokia's Smart Devices business. "With these new
products and more Symbian devices and user enhancements coming in the near
future, we are confident we can keep existing Nokia smartphone customers
engaged, as well as attract new first-time and competitor smartphone users."

Following on from Nokia's highly successful Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 devices, the
Nokia E6 is a sleek business smartphone with a full QWERTY keypad and a high
resolution touch display. Designed using premium materials such as glass and
stainless steel, the device comes in a compact size that makes it easy to use
with either one hand or two. The Nokia E6 offers exceptional battery life and
the best out-of-the-box Microsoft messaging experience on a business smartphone,
including access to Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Communicator Mobile and
Microsoft SharePoint.

The Nokia X7 is an entertainment-focused smartphone with a large 4" display
ideal for gaming, and an 8 Megapixel camera for capturing pictures and HD-
quality video. A distinctively designed device, the Nokia X7 is made from a
combination of seamless stainless steel and glass - delivering a solid and
durable feel in the hand. The Nokia X7 comes preloaded with the popular Galaxy
on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD games.

The Nokia E6 and Nokia X7 are also the first smartphones to contain the complete
update of the Symbian software user experience. This update offers a host of
usability enhancements, including fresh, new icons, improved text input, a
faster internet browsing experience and a refreshed Ovi Maps application with
improved search and new public transport routes. The renewed software also
offers a strong set of new features aimed at business users in particular,
including true enterprise grade security with hardware accelerated encryption,
and new e-mail features such as full meeting request support.

In coming months the software update, which is nick-named Symbian Anna, will
also be available as standard on newly shipping Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 and
Nokia C6-01 devices, as well as available to download on previously purchased
models of those same smartphones.

For developers, Symbian Anna greatly enhances the user experience on Nokia
smartphones and makes the Qt business opportunity with Nokia even greater. Read
