Nokia New Years Eve celebrates the start of 2007 in global style
Worlds largest New Years Eve celebration draws more than 2 million music lovers to 5 party capitals of the world; more than 150 million viewers tune into global TV and Internet broadcast
www.nokianewyearseve.com features on demand performances by The Black Eyed Peas, Scissor Sisters, Nelly Furtado, John Legend, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten, Ludacris, Rihanna, KT Tunstall, Sergio Mendes, among others
Espoo, Finland - On December 31st, Nokia New Years Eve delivered on its promise to connect millions of people around the world through five spectacular events being held as part of the biggest New Years party of 2006. Five party capitals Hong Kong, Mumbai, Berlin, Rio and New York all played their part to celebrate the beginning of 2007. Those in attendance at the live show, or watching the global broadcast on television or online saw some of the biggest names in music celebrating a truly unforgettable night.
Nokia New Years Eve began at Hong Kongs Ocean Terminal with Atomic Kitten topping the bill and making their first international appearance since splitting in 2004. They performed hits such as Whole Again and Tide Is High after an impressive roster of local stars including DJ Jamaster A, Eason Chan, Grasshopper, Hacken Lee, Joey Yung, Josie Ho, Jun Kung, Paul Wong, Soler and Twins entertained the crowd throughout the evening. Despite the massive Internet challenges created by the recent earthquake in Taiwan, Hong Kong music fans were also able to stream the live concert footage directly to their mobile thanks to a select group of local operators.
Moving west, Mumbais Andheri Stadium played host to a star-studded celebration that featured performances by Grammy Award-winning Nelly Furtado, Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman, and Bollywood superstars Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor, Koena Mitra, among others. Furtado, a Canadian performing in India for the first time, captivated the crowd by singing two Hindi ballads, Kabhi Kabhi and Yeh Sama, in addition to her international hits Powerless, Maneater and I Am Like A Bird. Nokia New Years Eve also marked the public debut of the first English language composition by Indian musical legend A.R. Rahman - Pray For Me, Brother - an anthem dedicated toward the eradication of world poverty. As the clock closed on midnight, Rahman, also known as the Mozart from Madras, got the crowd into the party spirit with his all-time hit Humma Humma as well as his Oscar-nominated single Khalbali.
Thank you Nokia for making this happen. I have wanted to come to India all my life, said Nelly Furtado after the show. The crowd was amazing and it was so much fun to perform on the same bill as so many talented Indian artists.
Berlins Brandenburg Gate was the largest Nokia New Years Eve celebration with an estimated 1.2 million party-goers in attendance. In front of this massive audience, headline act Scissor Sisters played their hit singles I Dont Feel Like Dancin and Comfortably Numb in a ninety-minute set that wowed the audience before a spectacular 10-minute pyrotechnics display erupted at midnight. Sugababes then took to the stage to carry on the party well in to the night.
This will be the biggest audience weve ever played to so we were really excited! We love coming to Berlin simply because nobody parties harder and longer than the Berliners, said Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters before they took the stage. After the show we plan on having an excessively fun and ridiculous evening which we hope will set the tone for the rest of 2007! Happy New Year everyone!
In Rio, Brazilians showed that a bit of rain would not stand in the way of an amazing night. More than one million people celebrated Nokia New Years Eve in a nine hour concert on Ipanema beach. The crowd was treated to unforgettable performances by the Black Eyed Peas, John Legend and Brazilian music legend Sérgio Mendes as well as local artists Funkn Lata and DJ Marlboro, amongst others.
The Black Eyed Peas played all of their hits including Where Is The Love? and Pump It as well as an unforgettable collaboration with Sérgio Mendes for the hit song Mas que Nada. Sergio Mendes was making his first Brazilian live performance for 28 years and treated the crowd to a host of hits from his countrys musical history. Speaking after the show, Mendes said This was a night of magic. Sharing my music with the Brazilian audience was emotional and unforgettable. This was without a doubt one of the happiest days in my life.
The night rounded off in New York with performances from Rihanna, Ludacris and KT Tunstall appearing in Dick Clarks New Years Rockin Eve 2007.
Each event offered more than just the very best in live music. Nokia also offered music lovers several innovative ways to use their mobile phones, including the opportunity to send in messages (and a few marriage proposals!) that were displayed on screens around each stage throughout the night. Party-goers could also send messages to the other Nokia New Years Eve cities as well as use the bluetooth beam-zones on site to receive a host of free content including wallpapers, links, gig guides, ringtones and artist content.
Estimated Total Television and Internet Audience of 150 Million
Those unable to watch their favorite artists in person were able to view performances from the five Nokia New Years Eve events via a global television broadcast, as well as online at www.nokianewyearseve.com. An additional global television program of musical highlights will be broadcast on January 1. To orchestrate this enormous global celebration, Nokia enlisted the services of Harvey Goldsmith CBE, the producer of Live Aid and Live8. The estimated total television and Internet audience is expected to be more than 150 million.
With more than 2 million music lovers celebrating with us in person, and more than 150 million television and Internet viewers, Nokia New Years Eve was certainly the biggest New Years party of 2006, said Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Nokia. Nokia New Years Eve clearly lived up to our mission of Connecting People and delivered on our promise of leveraging the power of television, the internet, live events and the worlds most exciting music artists to get people talking, sharing and celebrating on one incredible night. Our thanks to the artists who performed -- and the millions of people who celebrated with us in person and around the world.
Press photos, artist info and other press information from each Nokia New Years Eve celebration is available at: www.nokia.com/press/nye. For access to broadcast footage containing highlights from all locations, an APTN global satellite feed is available at 12.15GMT on January 1.

· Jointly develop mobility services and applications to improve the customer experience, and
· Conduct co-marketing efforts to drive market development and support global adoption to help establish worldwide roaming.

Nokia 6131 NFC phone taps into mobile payment, ticketing and
local sharing
NFC-enabled Nokia 6131 NFC handset can touch to connect to a wide range of services
Las Vegas, USA - Today at the 40th annual Consumer Electronics Show, attendees are displaying credentials to enter the show floor where they are busy swapping business cards, collecting product brochures and buying coffee to keep going through the endless rows of company exhibits. Simultaneously, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is announcing the worlds first fully integrated, commercial NFC handset, the Nokia 6131 NFC phone, which will soon allow all of these activities and more to be performed with the simple tap of a phone.
Featuring the same slim folding lines and outstanding features, the Nokia 6131 NFC handset includes Near Field Communications (NFC) technology to enable information sharing, service initiation and payment & ticketing capability with one tap of the device. Used in much the same way as existing contactless cards and keytags to allow access and make small payments, the addition of NFC technology to a full featured mobile device adds an entirely new level of capability by leveraging the phones computing power, wireless Internet access and user interface.
At CES there are dozens of potential use cases for the Nokia 6131 NFC phone. Instead of carrying a badge for entry, a tap of my phone could authorize my admittance to the exhibition, access to product information could be achieved by touching my phone on a product display, making carrying brochures around the show floor obsolete, and instead of heading to the ATM machine on a daily basis, coffee, sodas and hot dogs could be purchased using an NFC-enabled phone, said Juha Kokkonen, director of Mobile Experiences for Nokias Mobile Phones business. In a trade show environment like CES, one of my favorite applications is using NFC-enabled business cards. Instead of going home with a pocket full of cards that I have to scan or hand type into my computer, I can simply touch the card, and I have all of the contact information right in my phone.
Unlike a simple card or keytag, which only allows for one-way communication, an NFC-enabled mobile phone allows users to realize the benefits of a fully interactive experience. For example, touching an NFC-enabled advertising poster or informational kiosk can automatically link the user to interactive Internet based information, open an audio file, or download new content directly to the handset. Additionally, an extra layer of security is enabled when making contactless payments since the handset can be set to allow payment information only when the user expressly authorizes the transaction via a password, unlike a card or tag, which can be used by whoever has it in their possession.
Along with its NFC features, the Nokia 6131 NFC phone includes an extensive set of todays most wanted wireless features. A built-in digital music player with microSD card support and FM stereo radio allow customers to enjoy their favorite music on the go. A 1.3 megapixel camera, featuring a dedicated camera button and 8x digital zoom makes it easy to capture and share images. Bluetooth wireless technology enables easy connection to a wide selection of Nokia enhancements and PCs or even the ability to go handsfree in compatible automobiles.
The Nokia 6131 NFC phone is expected to be available in select markets during the 1st quarter of 2007 for approximately $340 (260 Euros) before taxes and subsidies.

The two companies will make it easy for people to upload video and photos, and update their blogs directly from their compatible Nokia Nseries devices to the Vox blogging service. The cooperation is an important step in making Web 2.0 mobile and enabling people to create and share their experiences with friends and family on the go. The Nokia N93i, also announced today, is the first product to include the integrated Vox service.
Supported by megapixel cameras and high quality video capture, Nokia Nseries multimedia computers have become true life recorders. People want to share their discoveries instantly with friends and family and Vox is a perfect service to share your videos and photos, said Mikko Pilkama, director of Multimedia Experiences, Nokia. We want to make sure that Nokia Nseries offers the best possible way for people to participate in Web 2.0 communities when theyre mobile. Nokia and Six Apart are making it easy for people to connect and share their photos, videos and life experiences without being tied to a PC.
Weve always believed that mobile phones will have a huge impact on blogging, and were pleased that Nokia shares this vision, said Six Apart co-founder and president Mena Trott. People will be able to capture lifes spontaneous moments by video or camera quickly and easily, and share them with friends and family. Together, Nokia and Six Apart are bringing the best on-the-go blogging experience to millions of Nokia Nseries users around the world.
Vox is a free personal blogging service for sharing experiences with friends and family. Voxs rich privacy filters give members granular control over who views their stories, photos, videos or audio. Members can easily set any of five levels of privacy on any piece of content they share on Vox.
Vox offers rich media integration, including the ability to insert video, photos and web content into posts by connecting with popular web services people already use such as Amazon.com, YouTube, Flickr, Photobucket, iStockphoto, and iFilm.

Nokia Shares Vision of Convergence with New Internet
Collaborations, New Products at CES 2007
Las Vegas, USA - Nokia President and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo will share the companys vision of how simplifying and converging mobility and the Internet with connected multimedia devices is making it possible to create, consume and share our experiences when and where we want.
Speaking at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Mr. Kallasvuo said Mobility will be at the core of how the Internet evolves, where people can have access to the people, content and information they want from wherever they are. In emerging markets, we see that more people are accessing the Internet for the first time via their mobile device rather than on a PC and we aim to be at the forefront of making that happen.
Single purpose devices are becoming less attractive, continued Mr. Kallasvuo. And the converged devices taking their place are increasingly powerful and easy to use. Reaching 90 million units in 2006 and expected to reach 250 million units in 2008, the market for converged devices is the fastest growing segment of consumer electronics. In this market, Nokia is the worlds largest manufacturer, selling close to 40 million converged devices in 2006.
Nokia brings the value added of mobility and connectivity to convergence - enabling people to take their content and Internet services with them, said Mr. Kallasvuo. He also shared his excitement regarding Nokias cooperation with Sprint Nextel in bringing WiMaX and open internet based services and mobile devices to the pockets of US consumers in 2008.
Mr. Kallasvuo highlighted Nokias market strength and consumer base. More than 850 million people have a Nokia mobile phone in their hands. No other consumer electronics company in the world has ever had such a customer base. In 2006, Nokia was the worlds largest camera manufacturer with approximately 140 million cameras sold as well as close to 70 million music enabled devices, making Nokia the worlds largest manufacturer of music devices as well.
Speaking to the importance of usability and product design, Mr. Kallasvuo showcased the Nokia N76 multimedia computer, an ultraslim combination of premium materials and technology. Ultimately, convergence has to mean convenience with little compromise. With the Nokia N76, weve been able to offer people a beautifully designed product that outperforms the competition while being easy to use, he explained.
Mr. Kallasvuo will announce agreements with leading Internet companies, helping them to take their brands and content mobile. Nokia announced integrated support for Vox, a free personal blogging service from Six Apart, with the newly announced Nokia N93i multimedia computer. Nokia and Skype announced a collaboration to develop a new mobile Skype experience on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Nokia and Yahoo! announced the availability of Yahoo! Go services, including address book synchronization, mobile voice instant messaging, automatic photo uploading and Yahoo! Mail support for Nokias broad range of Series 40 based mobile phones.
In addition, Mr. Kallasvuo presented the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet and the Nokia 6131 NFC handset which integrates Near Field Communications (NFC) technology to enable information sharing, service initiation and payment & ticketing capability, all activated with just one tap of the device.

Expanding expertise with multi-track participation
The Nokia for Business Channel Program is designed to give channel partners the opportunity, resources and financial support to leverage their core expertise while also broadening their skills to include additional Nokia for Business solutions. Indeed, both new and existing partners are attracted to the growth potential of business mobility and are naturally looking to partner with Nokia, the worldwide leader in mobile communications.

Mobile communication is revolutionizing economic and social development in rural India
New Delhi, India - Mobile communication is revolutionizing economic and social life in rural India, spawning a wave of local entrepreneurs and creating greater access to social services according to a new study by The Center for Knowledge Societies (CKS) commissioned by Nokia. The research identifies seven major service sectors including transport, finance and healthcare that could be radically transformed through mobile technologies.
Mobile phone ownership in India is growing rapidly, six million new mobile subscriptions are added each month and one in five Indians will own a phone by the end of 2007. By the end of 2008, three quarters of Indias population will be covered by a mobile network. Many of these new mobile citizens live in poorer and more rural areas with scarce infrastructure and facilities, high illiteracy levels, low PC and internet penetration. The study looks at how their new mobility could be used to bridge the growing economic and social digital divide between rural and urban areas.
Veli Sundback, Executive Vice President, Corporate Relations and Responsibility, at Nokia, said, Mobile phone ownership in India is growing at a phenomenal pace. This new found mobility undoubtedly has the potential to make a major contribution to socio-economic development, and we recognise the responsibility we have to play a key role in achieving this. This report builds on the work Nokia has been doing in developing markets like India for several years to understand how we can deliver on our goal of making universal access to technology and the associated benefits a reality.
Dr. Aditya Dev Sood, the report author highlights how many new adopters of mobile phones have found their incomes rise, he explained these findings as the increased productivity made possible through mobile communications. While mobile phones are widely seen merely as a communications medium, they should really be seen as a new and essential form of infrastructure that will transform a host of other service sectors in rural economies around the world, he said.
The report identifies seven service areas that could be transformed for rural communities by mobile communications.
· Transport - Finding cost-effective, reliable, and safe ways to transport goods and services to market is a major problem for small businesses in rural communities. Public transport is not available in 45% of villages in India, and only 1% of Indian households own a vehicle. Mobile communication could be used to create and co-ordinate car sharing schemes amongst villages, and provide real-time information about public transport services and the ability to make request stops.
· Micro-commerce - Small businesses in rural areas often have to travel significant distances to markets or other places they can distribute their goods, and cannot make arrangements in advance with buyers or other sellers. Mobile phones could significantly change the logistical issues faced by rural traders and home entrepreneurs, by affording mobile-based ordering systems, delivery requests, and the ability to make more reliable and advance arrangements with business partners or clients.
· Finance - Mobile phones are already being used in rural areas as a tool for financial transactions by swapping airtime for goods and services. The study encourages mobile networks and financial services institutions to work together to test and develop new financial services in this area and address how people can transfer these credits into cash.
· Healthcare - New mobile services in this area could better connect rural communities, creating networks to share and discuss health information and advice.
· Governance - Accessing information about public services remains a major challenge for many rural communities. Mobile phones provide a new platform through which rural communities will be able to access government information and services, using text, data, and audio browsing techniques.
· Education -The study looks at a range of educational services that could be provided via mobiles to children in remote villages and communities, particularly where PCs or connections to the internet are not available. Mobile phones could serve as an essential means for children to become connected to one another for educational and peer-learning activities. These are particularly important for communities that are either nomadic or transitional on account of displacements due to a natural disaster or for other reasons.
· Infotainment - While the mainstream entertainment industry is already well aware of the emerging potential of mobile media, there are also many opportunities for local, peer-to-peer content to be created and distributed, affording new cultural and economic opportunities to rural communities.
The research is based on detailed ethnography and participant observation among communities living in three rural areas of India - Badaun in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Satara in the state of Maharashtra and Chittradurga in the state of Karnataka - as well as one urban area, Bangalore. Researchers meet with small business owners, farmers, home owners and others to understand how mobile communication has already transformed their daily lives and the further potential of mobile communications to enhance livelihoods.
The study encourages national and international governments, the mobile industry and NGOs to work together to support the development of these services by increasing access to, and use of, mobile communications in rural communities. Recommendations in the report include:-
· Local and state government needs to integrate their telecom regulatory, tax and rural development policies, and do more to incentivize and support the role out of mobile services across the country.
· The mobile industry needs to understands the social impact of mobile connectivity in rural communities and make it as accessible as possible to them. This does not only mean lower prices and costs of ownership, to really make a contribution to development they will also need to localise the mobile experience with relevant applications and services. Many of these will be innovated at a grass roots level and it is important for the mobile industry to work at this level to deliver real improvements.
· Non-governmental organisations have an important role to play in working with state agencies to define the needs of rural communities and together develop new ways to deliver a wide range of different social and welfare services. To do this they also need to work much more closely with the mobile industry to understand and test the technological possibilities.
