Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition - Always on the Right Track

Nokia Adds Expanded Music Features to Popular Sports-Inspired Phone

ESPOO, Finland, October 5/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced the latest addition to its family of
"Active" phones with the introduction of the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition.
Adding to the well-received concept of the Nokia 5500 Sport, the Music
Edition is enhanced with a 512 MB microSD card for enjoying up to 375 songs,
as well as a fitness carrying strap, bicycle holder and sports headset packed
in a new energetic color.

"Music is a great source of energy and inspiration for many - during a
workout, a fitness routine, or just relaxing," says Antti Koivula, Director
of Lifestyle Products at Nokia. "To complement its sporty and
fitness-inspired design, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition offers an
expanded range of music features and bears the Nokia XpressMusic feature
brand which guarantees an outstanding mobile music experience."

The innovative carrying strap of the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition
allows it to be worn around the waist or strapped around an arm to ensure
that the handset stays in place, even during vigorous exercise. The sports
headset also offers handsfree convenience for music and conversation with an
anatomically engineered, over-the-ear design. For a complete music
experience, the Nokia Music Manager application makes music transfer in
multitude of different digital music formats from your PC easy and
convenient.

As a sports companion, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition packs a lot
more than just music.

Featuring an integrated pedometer, this "smartphone with a six-pack" lets
users know the distance travelled and calories burned during a run. Other
activities, such as a bicycle tour or cross-country skiing can also monitor
distance and calories with an optional GPS module. Results of workout
routines can then be transferred from the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition to a
PC to follow individual progress.

When it comes to messaging features, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition
is as versatile as a decathlete. With the press of a single button to
activate three dedicated "modes", the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition can
switch from a phone mode to stay in touch, a music mode to relax or energize,
and a sports mode to help users go the extra mile. With a high-powered
smartphone at heart, the handset can even support text-to-speech technology.
With two taps, the Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition reads an SMS aloud. A 2
megapixel camera completes the well-rounded feature set of the Nokia 5500
Music Edition.

The triband Nokia 5500 Sport Music Edition (GSM 900/1800/1900) is now
available in select shops around Europe. The expected retail price before
taxes and subsidies is approximately 350 EUR.
