MUNICH, GERMANY AND FINLAND -- Nokia has introduced the latest additions to its strong portfolio of phones, with high-quality color displays, Java and MMS support in the active, classic, fashion and premium categories, as well as a mobile entry phone, a new messaging device, and three new mobile enhancements. Nokia also announced its intention to bring mobility to the games industry.

Nokia will bring mobility to the games industry by offering console quality games for a new mobile game-deck product category. The rich games will be distributed on memory cards. Mobile gaming interactivity will reach new levels together with game optimized mobile devices that offer consumers a truly rich, interactive mobile gaming experience. It will introduce the first game optimized product in the mobile game deck category, the Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck, together with branded game titles from top games publishers and developers in February 2003.

New messaging device and five phones
The Nokia 6800, with its innovative design, is the first messaging device optimized for efficient text input. Mobile professionals can take advantage of its easy-to-use full keyboard for personal information management (PIM) and messaging or otherwise inputting text. It comes with a high-quality color display, SyncML support, email support, a stereo FM radio, as well as Java and MMS support. The dual-band mobile phone is expected to start shipping in the first quarter 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Nokia 7250 is a svelte, fashion phone with an integrated CIF camera. Boasting a full color display, support for MMS and Java, it also incorporates a stereo FM radio and tri-band functionality. It is expected to start shipping in the first quarter 2003 globally.

The Nokia 6100 is the world's smallest and lightest MMS-enabled GPRS phone with a color display. It has a slim, streamlined shape with a wide complement of features. The tri-band phone supports GSM/GPRS 900/1,800/1,900MHz networks where available. It is expected to start shipping before the end of 2002.

The Nokia 5100 combines wearability and durability with tri-band functionality (EGSM 900/GSM 1,800/1,900MHz). It includes a full color display, Java and MMS functionality, and is wrapped in a modern design created to inspire people with an active leisure lifestyle. Shipments are scheduled to begin globally in the first quarter 2003.

The Nokia 8910i links genuine materials with functionality and elegance in inspired ways, continuing the successful design path of its predecessors. Supporting MMS, Java, Bluetooth, HSCSD and GPRS, the sleek titanium-cased 8910i is a premium phone. Deliveries of the 8910i (supporting EGSM 900/1,800MHz) are expected to start in the first quarter 2003 in European, African and Asian markets.

The Nokia 2100 is the first mobile entry product, an affordable and easy-to-use mobile phone for voice and text messaging to cater to first time users in low mobile penetration markets in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. It will likely be commercially available during Q1 of 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific.

Innovative mobile enhancements
The Nokia Observation Camera is a unique, standalone, imaging device that allows users to request and receive information remotely. This can be done by sending a text message to the Observation Camera, which may be installed in various places. When the Observation Camera receives the request message, it takes an image and sends it to the mobile phone number or an email address defined in the message. The images are then sent as an MMS. The Nokia Observation Camera operates within the GSM 900/1,800MHz network coverage area in a GPRS environment and is expected to start shipping in the Q2 of 2003. It will be available in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Nokia Music Stand enhancement allows the Nokia 7250 phone's built-in radio to be played through high-quality stereo speakers, simply by placing the Nokia 7250 into the stand. The Music Stand also works with the Nokia 6800 via its Pop-Port connector. It will be available globally in the first quarter of 2003.

The Nokia Camera Headset HS-1C is a combo easy-to-wear digital camera and headset enhancement for compatible Nokia phone models with the Nokia Pop-Port interface connector. The Camera Headset will enable users to take digital images and send those as MMS with text, image, and/or audio content. The Camera Headset will start shipping globally in December 2002.
