Nokia sets key financial targets and Devices & Services operational priorities  
for 2010                                                                        

Helsinki, Finland - Today, at its annual Capital Markets Day event, Nokia set   
key targets and forecasts for the company and its industry for 2010. Senior     
company executives outlined how Nokia's focus on execution combined with its    
core competitive advantages, position the company to achieve and sustain        
broad-based success in the mobile devices market. At the event, Nokia also      
demonstrated significant improvements to its forthcoming version of the Symbian 
user interface.                          

Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, highlighted Nokia's focus on user experience,  
stating: "In 2010, we will drive user experience improvements, and the progress 
we make will take the Symbian user interface to a new level. As an operating    
system, Symbian has reach and flexibility like no other platform, and we have   
measures in place to push smartphones down to new price points globally, while  
growing margins. I see great opportunity for Nokia to capture new growth in our 
industry, by creating what we expect to be the world's biggest platform for     
services on the mobile."

Nokia CFO, Timo Ihamuotila, described Nokia's view of the industry and          
competitive environment: "Going into 2010, the overall mobile devices market is 
stabilizing and it is growing more in the areas where Nokia has competitive     
advantages. We believe that by executing on the operational priorities we have  
set, Nokia will be competitive in both mobile phones and smartphones and will   
improve its value share."

2010;                                                                           
- Deliver our first Maemo 6-powered mobile computer, with an iconic user        
experience, in the second half of 2010;                                         
- Significantly increase the proportion of touch and/or QWERTY devices in our   
smartphone portfolio;                                                           
- Scale up our Services business by expanding geographically and in partnership 
with more operators;                                                            
- Provide third party developers with better tools to create applications and

* Non-IFRS results exclude special items for all periods. In addition, non-IFRS 
results exclude intangible asset amortization, other purchase price accounting  
related items and inventory value adjustments arising from the formation of     
Nokia Siemens Networks and from all business acquisitions. Nokia believes that  
these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to
both management and investors regarding Nokia's performance by excluding the    
above-described items that may not be indicative of Nokia's business operating  
results. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or 
as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measure(s), but should be used in         
conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s) in the reported   
results.
