Sony BMG Music Entertainment Joins Nokia Comes With Music

Music Bundle on Nokia Devices to Include Sony BMG Content

LONDON, and ESPOO, Finland, April 22/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE:NOK) today announced that SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT has
officially joined Nokia Comes With Music, a revolutionary way for people to
discover and enjoy music with their Nokia device.

"As one of the leading major music companies in the world, our
collaboration with SONY BMG means we can offer a huge range of fantastic
music from both international and local artists via Comes With Music," said
Tero Ojanpera, executive vice president and head of the Nokia Entertainment
and Communities business. "It's great to have them on board as we move
forward with bringing our unlimited music bundle to the market."

Mr. Ojanpera continued: "Nokia Comes With Music is an innovation that not
only helps people discover and enjoy music, but also expand the overall
business and revenue for the benefit of artists, labels and other rights
holders."

"This initiative represents a critical new way of gaining access to
music, through which fans will be able to explore SONY BMG's vast catalog of
recordings for an entire year," commented Thomas Hesse, President, Global
Digital Business & U.S. Sales, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. "We think this
business model will encourage users to sample a wide range of material,
expand their musical tastes, and listen to more music than ever before. In
the process, we think it will provide new opportunities to artists from every
genre of music, and increase demand for music overall."

People who buy a Nokia Comes With Music device will have a year of access
to the SONY BMG rich catalog of music. Consumers will be able to download
tracks to both their mobile device and computer through the Nokia Music Store
during the first twelve months that they own their Nokia device.

At the end of the one year period, they can keep their downloaded tracks
and, should they purchase a new compatible device or computer, they can
transfer their downloaded material by substituting their new device or
computer for the original devices. As a result, music fans who participate in
the Comes With Music experience will be able to keep their downloads on their
device and/or computer for the rest of their lives.

Consumers will have a number of attractive options for continuing to get
new music after the Nokia Comes With Music subscription is over: they will be
able to continue to purchase additional tracks from the Nokia Music Store, or
move on to a Nokia "unlimited access" subscription service to enjoy new
releases and catalog tracks not downloaded during the initial year.

Comes With Music is expected to launch in the second half of 2008 on a
range of Nokia devices in selected markets.
