Nokia and Pangea Day Combine Efforts to Connect People Around the World Through Film

Nokia Mobile Devices Will Play a key Role in Creating a Global Community Dedicated to Positive Change

ESPOO, Finland, December 4/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE:NOK) today announced its global partnership with Pangea Day,
a unique event that will bring together millions of people around the world
through the power of film on May 10, 2008.

Pangea Day will be broadcast globally to millions on television, in
digital theaters, online and via mobile devices. It will be a live 4-hour
program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The goal
of Pangea Day is to create greater understanding among different people and
cultures, and to form a global community focused on improving the future for
all people.

"From the earliest days of movies, film has had the power to bring people
together. But today, Internet technology is allowing film to bring together
not only neighbors, but an entire global community," said Olli-Pekka
Kallasvuo, Nokia president and CEO. "Nokia is proud to work with Pangea Day
as we embark on this important shared mission of connecting people across the
globe,"

For many people today, especially in developing markets, the mobile phone
is providing their first Internet experience.

"Perhaps Nokia's greatest contribution to Pangea Day is the ability of
our technology to give a voice to people who previously were unable to take
part in the global community that is the Internet," Kallasvuo said. "By
integrating the power of wireless technology into Pangea Day, we can help it
can meet its goal of bringing together people from around the world."

Nokia and Pangea Day will work with aspiring filmmakers in disadvantaged
areas and conflict zones to make it possible for their stories to also be
told. By distributing video-enabled mobile devices to these filmmakers, their
works can be captured and shared globally, demonstrating how wireless
technology can not only provide a platform for people of diverse backgrounds
to express themselves, but also to bring them together.

"Pangea Day was created by TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design)
prize winner, Jehane Noujaim. One of the core goals of the TED Prize is to
recognize a new generation of global citizens," says Chris Anderson, Curator
of TED. "Jehane's work has shown how powerfully film can help us understand
and connect with other people.
