Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Headlines a Fresh Lineup of New Music Handsets

Three New Nokia Music Handsets Combine Strong Features, Youthful Style and Attractive Pricing

ESPOO, Finland and NEW YORK, September 27/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amid the excitement of the hottest DJ's and live performances from
chart-topping artists, Nokia today launched an exciting new range of music
phones during an exclusive event at Nokia Theatre in New York's Times Square.
Headlined by the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, which features a stylish slide
design and holds up to 1,500 tracks, these music phones make it easier than
ever to carry a single device by combining the best of mobile communication
and mobile music. With today's announcement, Nokia broadens its portfolio of
music-driven mobile products, giving consumers an unparalleled array of
choice. The new products announced today will begin shipments in select
markets within weeks.

"With today's launches we are reaching out to a broad range of consumers
who want both the features of a modern mobile phone and a quality music
player in a single, stylish device," says Heikki Norta, Senior Vice
President, Mobile Phones. "The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic offers a comprehensive
feature set, including support for up to 2 GB of memory and dedicated music
keys at an accessible price. Never before has it been as easy or affordable
for consumers to own a mobile phone that also offers a first-rate music
experience that compares favorably to any stand-alone music player. With this
product launch, we are emphasizing the benefits of the XpressMusic feature
brand, which clearly labels those Nokia devices that guarantee an outstanding
mobile music experience."

Nokia 5300 XpressMusic heads up the charts

The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic can hold over 100 albums worth of music
(approximately 1500 tracks) on a 2GB microSD card. Thanks to dedicated music
keys, consumers can easily control the playback of their music while
simultaneously enjoying other functions such as texting, browsing or taking
pictures. For an even better groove, consumers can plug in their favorite
headphones or external speakers with a 3.5mm headset jack by simply
connecting them to the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic using the inbox adapter. The
Nokia 5300 XpressMusic swiftly transfers albums and music collections to a PC
using a standard micro USB connector. When traveling, consumers can use the
Nokia Wireless Audio Gateway AD-42W to stream their music collection and
favorite playlists wirelessly to any stereo from their Nokia 5300
XpressMusic.

No one-hit wonder, the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic also comes with the latest
messaging functions complemented by a 1.3 megapixel camera. Incoming calls
can be enhanced with video ring tones on the high resolution display. The
Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is expected to retail for approximately 250 EUR,
before taxes and subsidies.

In addition, Nokia today revealed two other music devices, the Nokia 5200
and the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic. Featuring a similar lifestyle-inspired slide
design as the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, the Nokia 5200 offers an exciting
combination of music and messaging functions and is an even more
budget-friendly handset for young and sociable consumers. The Nokia 5200 is
expected to retail for around 200 EUR, before taxes and subsidies.

Also unveiled today was the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic, which refreshes the
popular Nokia 3250 with an updated look and feel. Still featuring the unique
and well-received "twist" design, the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic has doubled the
music capacity of the original, holding up to 1500 tracks (supports microSD
cards up to 2GB) and is expected to retail for around 400 EUR, before taxes
and subsidies.
