Nokia Receives A Payment Of USD 341 Million From The Turkish Government In The Settlement Of The Telsim Matter

May 26, 2006 -- Espoo, Finland - Nokia has received a settlement payment of USD 341.25 million following the completion of the sale of Telsim's assets, in accordance with an arrangement with Telsim and the Turkish Savings and Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF), which sold Telsim's assets to Vodafone. This follows the settlement reached in August 2005 of Nokia's financial claims against Telsim, subject to the successful sale of the Turkish network operator's assets. Nokia is pleased with the resolution of the issue with Telsim. The closing of the settlement agreement opens the way for Nokia's continued support for Telsim's operations, which will benefit not only Telsim's subscribers but also the Turkish telecommunications market at large.

Nokia's claims arose from Telsim's default on its repayment obligations under a loan facility related to network equipment delivered in 2000. In February 2004, the Arbitral Tribunal in Zürich fully approved the claim against Telsim.

(NYSE: MOT) welcomes the announcement that Vodafone has completed its acquisition of Turkish cellular phone operator, Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon (“Telsim").Following completion of the transaction, Motorola received a cash payment of $410 million pursuant to an agreement previously reached to settle Motorola’s financial and legal claims against Telsim and certain other parties.

Motorola issued the following statement: "We congratulate the Turkish Savings and Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) and Vodafone on the successful tender and transfer of Telsim. We appreciate TMSF’s diligent efforts throughout this process to ensure a successful outcome for all parties."

As previously announced, in October 2005, Motorola agreed to settle its financial and legal claims against Telsim and certain other parties for a cash payment of $500 million, which the company received in October 2005, plus the right to receive 20% of the proceeds from the sale of Telsim assets over $2.5 billion.

In connection with the previously announced agreement, Motorola dismissed its litigation against Telsim, as well as its demand for arbitration against the Government of Turkey at the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in Washington, D.C. In addition, Motorola agreed not to pursue collection efforts against certain corporate defendants under TMSF control, subject to certain conditions.

Motorola may continue its efforts, except in Turkey and certain other agreed upon countries, to enforce the judgments previously rendered on behalf of Motorola against the Uzan family for perpetrating a massive fraud against Motorola through the Uzan’s prior control of Telsim.

Nokia Releases 'Web Browser For S60' Engine Code To Open Source Community

Mobility-enhanced code release to drive open source collaboration, reduce browser fragmentation & deliver true web rendering on smartphone devices

May 24, 2006 -- World Wide Web Conference 2006, Edinburgh, Scotland - Nokia today announced the release to the global open source software community of the source code for S60 WebKit, the engine for its leading-edge Web Browser for S60, marking a turning point in the drive toward an open code base for web browsers used on mobile devices.Nokia's contribution of the S60 WebKit source code, with key mobility enhancements that make WebKit easier to port to different mobile platforms, will enable reduced fragmentation in the next generation of mobile browsers, simplifying content development for the mobile web and accelerating adoption of mobile browsing by millions of smartphone users worldwide.

The web browser source code released by Nokia comes under the terms of the open source BSD License, a highly permissive software license with few requirements that is one of the most popular licenses among free software developers worldwide. The source code will be made available to open source developers through the WebKit Open Source Project ( www.webkit.org ).

Nokia's open sourcing of the engine to its high-performance S60 mobile browser, which replicates on handheld devices the true web-page rendering of complete desktop browsers, marks the start of a collaborative open source effort that will enable smartphone users industry-wide to push beyond the millions of mobile-friendly pages currently on the web and begin to experience full web browsing of the estimated 25 billion pages on the Internet today.

"Nokia's open source based Web Browser for S60 leads the way for Internet browsing on mobile devices," said Przemek Czarnecki, executive vice president of Terminal Technology, T-Mobile International. "Its innovative handling of website navigation, which is similar to using a web browser on the desktop, is of particular interest to T-Mobile as we are closely working on Internet browsing with our product 'web'n'walk'. The use of open source to achieve greater website compatibility is an important strategy for the mobile industry."

Nokia's recently launched Web Browser for S60 enables full mobile browsing of complete web pages as they exist on the Internet, leveraging compatibility with AJAX technologies and support for dynamic HTML and scripting language. The release of source code for the S60 Webkit browser engine, based on WebCore and JavaScriptCore components of Apple's award-winning Safari browser, will be accompanied by Nokia's active participation with the open source community in developing further enhancements to the browser, sharing changes to the core browser engine as they are made in real time.

"This initiative will attract a critical mass of open source software developers to build a consistent, web browser engine as the clearest path to minimize fragmentation in the mobile browser market," said Lee Epting, vice president of Nokia's global software developer support program, Forum Nokia. "With nearly 100 million smartphones deployed worldwide, a common open source solution driving mobile web browser consistency will deliver on the long-awaited promise of full-web browsing and a true web experience for smartphone users around the globe."

"Nokia is pleased to deliver its mobility enhancements to the S60 browser engine and excited that developers will be collaborating through Webkit with the open source community on real-time evolution of the browser core code, paving the way toward broad adoption of an open source solution for next-generation browsing throughout the mobile industry," said Heikki Heinaro, vice president for S60 applications, Nokia.

In addition to its modular, extensible architecture and open interfaces, key features of the code that Nokia is contributing to the open source community include:

- Memory manager, designed specifically to handle out-of-memory situations on the device;
- Mouse Pointer, delivering a desktop-like navigation experience;
- Frames rendered as tables;
- Full support for "Text Search" capabilities;
- Reference UI, a reference implementation of standard browser user-interface features;
- Full mobility support for dynamic HTML and the scripting language that enables it; and,
- Preservation on mobile screens of original designer-intended web page layouts, with text custom-fitted to the mobile display width.

The first Nokia devices to include the Web browser for S60 will be ESeries (E60, E61 and E70) and NSeries devices (N71, N73, N80, N91, N92 and N93), as well as the Nokia 3250 Phone. Shipment of select models has already begun and others will come available throughout the remainder of the second quarter.

More information about Web Browser for S60 can be found online at http://s60.com/browser. Developers wishing to learn more about available tools enabling them to modify and contribute to the Web browser for S60, as well as build on top of the browser to provide rich content for their applications, can visit http://opensource.nokia.com/projects/S60browser .

Motorola Joins Forces with CTM in Macau to introduce SCREEN3 News Service

“Zero Click� access to current affairs, sports, entertainment and other news via Motorola RAZR V3i

Macau – 24 May 2006 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), a global leader in wireless communications, today joined forces with CTM to introduce SCREEN3™ in Macau, the first City in Asia to launch the service. SCREEN3™ is an innovative technology solution that lets consumers get news, sports, entertainment, and other premium content and services directly from their Motorola RAZR V3i handset’s home screen without having to push any buttons or launch a browser.Motorola’s SCREEN3™ employs a media gateway server to manage the delivery of relevant content based on the specific media channels a user subscribes to.

Additionally, the SCREEN3™ solution enlists a “smart synchronization� function that ensures only the latest, freshest content gets delivered and displayed on the device’s home screen. This in turn minimizes network traffic and thus increases consumer satisfaction.

The end result of this entire service is that users are presented seamlessly, and in a simple, organised manner, all the latest news headlines for that specific channel subscribed to.

“Subscribers want the latest mobile content without having to click, scroll and hunt through menus for it and network operators want to be able to do more with mobile data services,� said Cedric So, general manager of Mobile Devices Business, Motorola Hong Kong. “With SCREEN3™, we address both sets of needs, making the mobile phone the next major media hub by putting content where it belongs, in front of subscribers’ eyes, zero-clicks away.�

Motorola’s SCREEN3™ solution is designed to help operators drive mobile data usage and generate revenue. Operator studies show a drop off in users with every click that it takes to access content. By placing targeted content and promotions on the device home screen — where it’s easy access and impossible to miss — subscribers are more likely to try and use data services. In addition, operators can leverage an additional channel for special promotion offers and services.

Motorola works closely with Macau CTM to provide valued added services to users.Under the partnership, all GPRS fees on news auto updates (default settings) are waived and users can enjoy extra benefits for free.

Motorola’s SCREEN3™ offers four default channels, including three from Oriental Daily News (top stories, entertainment, and business) and one from Macau Daily News (top stories). There are also four additional channels users are able to choose from to suit their own personal needs, thereby tailoring their SCREEN3™ service to what they want. These four extra channels include Macau Daily News (business) and three from orisun.com (lifestyle, football, and horse racing).*

The Motorola RAZR V3i, on which the SCREEN3™ service is available, now comes in two new, attention-grabbing shades – maroon and deep violet. Merging the latest in cellular features with deep, jewel-tone shades and rich-looking finishes, the new RAZR V3i is the epitome of mobile sophistication. Beneath the stunning exterior, this handset is enhanced with the latest multimedia tools including an integrated 1.23 megapixel digital camera with full screen view-finder, zoom, video capture and playback, and MicroSD removable memory. Cutting-edge music capabilities complete the mobile package, allowing consumers to define their mobile personality through their musical tastes and colour preference.

Complementing its good looks, the Motorola RAZR V3i is equipped with quad-band technology so users can travel from country to country and stay connected*. And with Bluetooth® wireless technology and speaker-independent name and digit dialing, users can conveniently communicate hands-free.

SCREEN3â„¢ will be available on a variety of additional Motorola handsets over the next several months.

Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W Takes Multimedia From Mobile To Automobile

New handsfree solution from Nokia integrates personal music box and convenient navigation

May 22, 2006 -- Düsseldorf, Germany and Espoo, Finland - Nokia today launched the Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W, the first integrated handsfree solution to combine high-quality communication, music, navigation and push-to-talk* in the car.** Thanks to a Pop-Port(TM) interface and Bluetooth*** wireless technology, the easy-to-use system is compatible with a broad range of mobile phones and delivers excellent audio quality featuring DSP (Digital Signal Processing).Previously, drivers who wanted to retrofit their cars with music, navigation or communication had to install each system separately. Now, the new Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W bundles all these applications in a single solution. It can be used with a compatible mobile phone as a personal in-car music player music box or in connection with the Nokia Navigation Pack LD-2 for convenient navigation. The comfortable operating unit puts phone, music and navigation functions at the user's fingertips. "This product represents a major step towards achieving our goal of fuelling the convergence of multimedia and automotive communication in the aftermarket", commented Wolfgang Gärtner, Senior Category Manager, Nokia Automotive.

Music stored on a compatible mobile phone can be played over the vehicle speakers in stereo quality using a cable connection or via Bluetooth streaming, based on the Bluetooth A2DP Profile. This turns the mobile phone into an in-car music player, with functions like start/stop, previous/next track readily accessible on the operating unit of the handsfree system. Owners of mobile MP3 players like the Apple iPod can also connect their player to the Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W using the cable that comes with the car kit or via Bluetooth -if supported by the respective player.

In addition to handsfree functionality and music, another asset offered by the system is navigation. The combined package made up of the Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W and the Nokia Navigation Pack LD-2 also includes the 'ROUTE 66 Mobile 7' software application, which works with most S60 based Nokia mobile devices and other S60 based phones****, as well as a GPS receiver to hook up with the Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W. The GPS receiver is installed in the car for optimum performance and it does not require charging. When the navigation software is used in the car, GPS data is transmitted to the phone over a Bluetooth connection. The navigation instructions are shown on the display of the mobile phone which should preferably be in a holder. The map with driving instructions is scalable. Spoken cues are conveyed over the handsfree system.

The Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W always gives priority to voice communications. The operating concept ensures, for example, that music playback is automatically muted when a call comes in or a navigation voice prompt is played. In the case of the navigation function, the user has the choice of selecting an alternative setting that allows both the phone audio to be on with the navigation simultaneously, or for a short beep for each change in direction to alert the user to check the route on the mobile phone display.

The Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W and the Nokia Navigation Pack LD-2 with the ROUTE 66 software and a GPS receiver are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2006. Depending on needs and destination, various versions of ROUTE 66 are available, each covering a country or region in Europe or North America (USA and Canada).

*"Push-to-talk" is a bidirectional form of communication in which the user simply pushes a button on the Nokia CK-20W to communicate directly with one or several parties - similar to a walkie-talkie. This service is network dependent. Please contact your mobile operator for further information on availability and tariffs.

** Many jurisdictions have laws regarding the use of a phone in a vehicle environment. Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while driving. Your first consideration while driving should be road safety.

*** Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
This system supports the A2DP Profile: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile/1.0 and the AVRCP Audio/Video Remote-Control Profile.
