Nokia Announces Convergence Devices for Mobile TV and the Digital Home at Nokia Mobility Conference 2005

Nokia Mobility Conference 2005, BARCELONA, Spain and ESPOO, Finland, November 2/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

- Nokia Strikes Another High Note With the Launch of Three More Nokia
Nseries Multimedia Devices, While New Nokia Products and Solutions for
Enterprises, Application Developers and Mobile Networks Give Convergence
a Push

Today, at the Nokia Mobility Conference 2005, Nokia illuminated its
convergence strategy by extending the Nokia Nseries multimedia range to
include three new devices: the Nokia N92 (the world's first mobile device
with a built-in DVB-H receiver), the Nokia N71 and the Nokia N80. With these
new devices consumers can wirelessly watch mobile TV, stream music, share
photos and send emails with attachments, using technologies such as 3G, WLAN
and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)*.

This latest launch follows the announcement in October of the Nokia
Eseries, a new family of Nokia smartphones targeted at the business world.
The Nokia Nseries, first launched in April, and the Nokia Eseries are the
manifestation of Nokia's vision of convergence and the emerging digital
industry, bringing together information technology, enterprise applications,
broadcasting, music and imaging. Speaking at the Nokia Mobility Conference,
Nokia Chairman and CEO Jorma Ollila explained how devices like these lie at
the heart of digital convergence.

"We expect the market for convergence devices to double to 100 million
units in 2006. Developers, media companies and enterprises are shifting their
focus to Nokia's S60 smartphone platform, as they see the business potential
of using it to offer content and ensure secure remote access to corporate
applications," said Ollila. "Convergence is opening up a world of
opportunities for our customers and partners, and Nokia is committed to
developing the tools, solutions and products to make the promise of the
digital industry a reality."

Nokia N92: the clearest picture yet for mobile TV

The Nokia N92 is the world's first mobile device with a built-in DVB-H
receiver, making it possible for users to watch and record live TV at any
time. Based on open standards, DVB-H is the leading mobile-TV broadcasting
technology, enabling low-cost delivery of high-quality broadcast programs to
mass audiences.

The Nokia N92 features applications and functionalities that make it easy
for users to watch and search for TV programs, create personal channel lists,
subscribe to TV-channel packages, set program reminders and access
interactive TV services. The ergonomic form factor includes media keys, a
view mode and a large (2.8") anti-glare QVGA screen supporting 16 million
colors.

Nokia N71: all-in-one entertainment

The latest member of the Nokia XpressMusic family, the Nokia N71 is a
pocket-sized entertainment system complete with stereo FM radio and support
for digital music and videos. The Nokia N71 also features the new Nokia Web
Browser with Mini Map. This allows a semi-transparent, zoomed-out view of a
web page, so that users can quickly orientate themselves on a handset screen.

Nokia N80: make yourself at home

Equipped with WLAN and 3G, the Nokia N80 is the world's first handset to
feature UPnP technology. This allows it to be used as a remote control for
wirelessly swapping content between compatible PCs, audio equipment and TVs.
Images and video stored on the Nokia N80 or on a compatible PC can be viewed
on a TV, for instance, while music stored on the device can be played through
an audio system. Nokia N80 users can also print wirelessly to any
UPnP-enabled printer. In addition, the Nokia N80 supports most commonly used
email solutions and office-application formats.

Web browsing in your pocket

At the conference Nokia also unveiled a new web browser for its S60
software for smartphones. The browser, designed to give equal access both to
full web pages and mobile-optimized content, is available for S60 licensees
as part of the S60 3rd Edition offering. With the browser built on open
architecture, S60 licensees and open source developers will be able to extend
its core and build new features on top of it.

In keeping with this open source approach, Nokia has also launched a new
Internet portal for its open source software projects: opensource.nokia.com.
The portal, a natural extension for the Forum Nokia online developer
community, consolidates Nokia's open source activities and provides access to
its projects.

Mobilizing the enterprise

The new Nokia Eseries family of smartphones for the business world also
made its public debut at the conference. The Nokia E60, the Nokia E61 and the
Nokia E70, each with its own distinct design, are built on a platform that
meets the security and manageability needs of corporate IT professionals. The
Nokia Eseries is targeted at companies and public institutions that want to
improve their performance while keeping the cost of device management and
support under control.

Nokia Eseries devices support all GSM bands, 3G, WLAN, corporate email
access and advanced voice functionality (including IP PBX connectivity over
WLAN), and offer integrated security features and tools for device
management. Multiple email solutions are supported, including BlackBerry
Connect, GoodLink, Nokia Business Center, Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-on
mail and Visto Mobile. Nokia Eseries devices are a perfect fit with the Nokia
Business Center, a robust and cost-effective solution for the mass-market
rollout of corporate mobile email.

Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station: a new way to build 3G

Nokia has also introduced the small, modular and high-capacity Nokia
Flexi WCDMA Base Station. Built on a completely new platform, the Nokia Flexi
WCDMA Base Station enables operators to make more efficient use of their
base-station sites, reducing site costs by up to 70 percent. In addition to
supporting WCDMA and High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technologies, the base
station's future-proof architecture, compatible with Open Base Station
Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) specifications, will later allow operators to
rapidly deploy new technologies, such as WiMAX.

* Note to editors

UPnP technology, a standard required for an interoperable network in the
digital home, enables automatic discovery and remote control of devices.
These include networked devices and services, such as network-attached PCs
and printers, Internet gateways, and consumer electronics devices. UPnP is
independent of any particular operating system, programming language, or
physical medium, meaning it can be deployed on top of any IP bearer - WLAN,
Ethernet cable, etc.
