Nokia Announces Finalists for the Mobile Filmmaking Awards

Mobile Short Videos Will be Seen on International Pangea Day Broadcast

ESPOO, Finland and NEW YORK, May 6/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The wait is over. Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced the five finalists
for the 2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards which will be screened during the
Pangea Day broadcast on May 10th. The winners will be flown to Los Angeles to
attend one of Pangea Day's six live broadcast locations on Saturday, May
10th.

Pangea Day was created by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jehane
Noujaim after winning the prestigious 2006 TED Prize. Together, Noujaim and
TED, with support from Nokia, have created Pangea Day to connect people by
harnessing the power of film and encouraging people to view the world through
someone else's eyes.

The five finalists in the Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards competition,
which ran from March 19 to April 30, in no particular order, are: Pier
Bardoni for Cloud Running; Eduardo Cachucho for Game; Rupert Howe for Amazing
Rainbows; Bob Calabritto for Smile; and Kayoom Mistry for Rounds All Around.

Contestants uploaded their two-minute long entries for the competition to
the Pangea Day channel at Share on Ovi, a free media sharing service that
makes it easy to upload, manage and share personal media through mobile,
desktop and other connected devices. Consumers who registered on the site
voted to select the five finalists.

All five finalists, chosen by online voting, will be flown to Los Angeles
for the event. A panel of professional judges - including Jehane Noujaim,
Dave Stewart and others - will review the videos prior to the broadcast and
pick a winner, which will then be announced during the Pangea Day broadcast.
In addition to the trip to the Los Angeles event, the winner will receive a
mobile filmmaking trip of a lifetime to the Rwandan Gorilla Reserve and a
production budget to record their trip.

On May 10th, millions of people all over the world will come together to
watch a 4-hour program of short films, coupled with talks from CNN's
Christiane Amanpour and Queen Noor of Jordan, and with special musical guest.
Through the Friends of Pangea Day page at http://www.pangeaday.org/events.php
, anyone, anywhere can sign up and host their own Pangea Day event or attend
an event in their local community.
