Nokia reaffirms commitment to Symbian platform

As Symbian Foundation announces changes, a new era of Symbian development and
innovation begins

Espoo, Finland - Following an announcement by the board of the Symbian
Foundation that it will be transitioning from its current operational activities
to become a licensing operation only, Nokia today reaffirmed its commitment to
the Symbian platform. Nokia plans to continue to invest its own resources in
developing Symbian, the world´s most widely used smartphone platform, and
expects to deliver a strong portfolio of Symbian-based smartphones to people
around the world.

"The future of Symbian as a platform does not depend on the existence of the
foundation, " said Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President, Smartphones, Nokia. "The
changes announced by the foundation have no impact on Nokia´s Symbian device
roadmaps or shipping commitments. The platform powers hundreds of millions of
smartphones - including our own - and we expect to deliver ongoing support and
innovation benefitting the Symbian ecosystem in the future."

Nokia´s recent decision to focus on Qt as its sole application development
framework is expected to bring greater efficiency and speed of evolution to the
Symbian platform. This approach is aimed at ensuring compatibility for apps with
future Symbian platform versions, and enables more frequent updates and upgrades
for Nokia smartphones. To take advantage of this ever-growing opportunity,
developers can find the tools and support they need through Forum Nokia, and
global distribution to Nokia´s broad base of smartphones through Ovi Store.

Nokia is the volume market leader in smartphones and the company´s commitment to
the Symbian platform is unchanged. Nokia smartphones based on the new Symbian
platform include the Nokia N8, Nokia C7 and the new Nokia C6-01 which are
available now, as well as the upcoming Nokia E7 which is expected to ship before
the end of 2010. Nokia expects to sell more than 50 million Symbian^3-based
devices.
