Nokia Capital Markets Day 2008                                                  

Nokia lowers the mobile device industry outlook for Q4 2008 and gives outlook   
for 2009	                                                                       

New York, NY, USA - Today, at its annual Capital Markets Day event, 
Nokia lowered its forecast for mobile device industry volumes for the fourth    
quarter 2008. Nokia also presented forecasts for the company and the industry   
for 2009. At the event, senior company executives outlined how Nokia's strategy,
robust financial structure and competitive product portfolio are expected to    
ensure the company remains in a position of strength in the more challenging    
economic times ahead.                                                           

Nokia President and CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, highlighted the benefits of      
Nokia's brand, scale and number one market position, stating: “2009 will be     
challenging for our industry, however we have a strong, enviable base to build  
on and I believe we will continue to strengthen our position on many fronts.    
Building on our operational flexibility, Nokia is acting to reduce costs        
appropriately in the current slowing environment. At the same time, we remain  
fully committed to making the investments to build the future of our exciting   
industry and Nokia's continued competitiveness.”                                

Nokia CFO, Rick Simonson, emphasized that appropriate cost reductions are being 
effected now and are continuing in plans for 2009 and 2010: “Nokia's highly     
variable, low fixed cost business model allows us to scale to a declining       
market. We are also acting on all fronts to reduce our costs beyond what may be 
attributable solely to the scalable aspects of the business model - moving to   
reduce cost of goods sold even further, reduce operational expenditure          
appropriately, and scale back capital expenditure. We expect these strong       
actions to offset, in part, the negative impact of slowing sales.”              

Outlook for Nokia and the mobile device industry - fourth quarter 2008
The mobile device market slowdown has continued more rapidly than previously    
expected since Nokia issued an update on November 14, 2008. The industry        
continues to be impacted by the effects of a global consumer pull-back in       
spending, currency volatility, and decreased availability of credit. Nokia      
believes the slowdown is apparent in varying degrees across all markets, while  
the most recent incremental impact in the emerging markets has been more        
pronounced than in other markets. As a result, and while noting the lack of     
visibility due to the factors cited above, Nokia is revising its fourth quarter 
2008 outlook as follows:                                                        
- Nokia now estimates that fourth quarter 2008 industry mobile device volumes   
will be lower than the previous estimate of approximately 330 million units,    
which would result in full year 2008 industry mobile device volumes below the   
earlier estimate of 1.24 billion units.                                         
- Nokia believes there is insufficient visibility in the marketplace to confirm 
its prior estimate for its fourth quarter 2008 mobile device market share, which
was expected to be at the same level or slightly up from an estimated 38% in the
third quarter 2008.                                                             

Outlook for Nokia Siemens Networks and the mobile infrastructure, fixed         
infrastructure and related services market - 2008  
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks continue to expect the mobile infrastructure,
fixed infrastructure and related services market to be flat in euro terms in    
2008, compared to 2007.                                                         
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks continued cost synergy target for Nokia      
Siemens Networks is to achieve substantially all of the EUR 2.0 billion of      
targeted annual cost synergies by the end of 2008.                              

Targets and forecasts for Nokia and the mobile device industry - 2009 and going 
forward    
- Nokia expects that the mobile device market will continue to be negatively    
impacted by the effects of a slowdown in consumer spending. Nokia also expects  
that operator and retail distribution channels will go through a period of      
destocking, resulting in lower sales volumes by manufacturers (sell-in) than    
purchase volumes by consumers (sell-through) for the industry in the first half 
of 2009.                                                                        
- While noting the extremely limited visibility, Nokia expects 2009 industry    
mobile device volumes to decline 5% or more from 2008 levels.                   
- Nokia expects the four billion mobile subscriptions mark to be reached in the 
first quarter 2009.                                                             
- Nokia targets an increase in its market share in mobile devices in 2009       
compared to 2008, including increased share in smartphones.                     
- As previously announced, Nokia has adjusted its Internet services market focus
to the areas of music, maps, media, messaging and gaming. Nokia estimates these 
targeted portions of the Internet services market will be approximately EUR 40  
billion in 2011. In December 2007, Nokia estimated that the total Internet      
services market would be approximately EUR 100 billion in 2010.                 
- Nokia targets Services & Software net sales of EUR 2 billion or more in 2011. 
- Nokia targets its Services & Software business to have 300 million unique     
services users by 2012.                                                         

Targets and forecasts for Nokia Siemens Networks and the mobile infrastructure, 
fixed infrastructure and related services market - 2009
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks preliminary estimate is that the mobile      
infrastructure, fixed infrastructure and related services market will decline 5%
or more in euro terms in 2009, from 2008 levels.                                
- Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks target for Nokia Siemens Networks market     
share to remain constant in 2009, compared to 2008.                             

Nokia financial targets (non-IFRS*) - 2009  
Given the unprecedented environment, Nokia will not, at this time, be giving    
operating margin targets for beyond 2009.                                       
- Nokia Devices & Services operating margin target to be in the teens in 2009.  
- NAVTEQ operating margin targeted to be somewhat above the Devices & Services  
operating margin in 2009.                                                       
- Nokia Siemens Networks operating margin target to be in the single digits in  
2009.                                                                           

Nokia priorities for 2009
In addition to updating its financial targets, Nokia also outlined key          
priorities for 2009. These are:     
- To ensure that Nokia's cost base is appropriately sized for a more challenging
environment;                                                                    
- To grow mobile device market share, to capture growth opportunities in NAVTEQ 
and device enhancements, and to capture value from adjacent markets;            
- To build on the momentum in Services & Software by continuing to grow and     
focus its services portfolio;                                                   
- To mobilize consumer email and consumer instant messaging for millions of     
Nokia device users, and;                                                        
- To further integrate and simplify Nokia's web services user interface and     
device user interface.                                                          

* 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 completed after June  
30, 2008. For the preceding periods, non-IFRS results exclude such items and    
adjustments arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks only. 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.
