Nokia 6500 classic and Nokia 6500 slide wrap

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today reaffirmed its leadership in driving the
benefits of third generation technology to the mid-range market with the
announcement of two new handsets, the Nokia 6500 classic and Nokia 6500
slide. Designed to be precisely balanced in the hand, with large keys and
ergonomically correct dimensions and surfaces, both phones have been
created with maximum usability in mind. Along with third generation WCDMA
technology and sleek, contemporary designs, these new devices feature
carefully engineered touches that help to ensure that the beauty
endures.

"Nokia is a recognized trailblazer of the 3G revolution and a pioneer in
the use of new and innovative materials for mobile phones. With the Nokia
6500 classic and Nokia 6500 slide, Nokia is skillfully combining these
areas of expertise to deliver a compelling blend of design and technology
at a mid-range price point," said Peter Ropke, Senior Vice President,
Broad Appeal Business Unit, Nokia. "While features like the aluminum
"loop" structure of the Nokia 6500 classic or the Carl Zeiss optics found
in the Nokia 6500 slide separate these devices from the pack, it is the
skillful balance of features and style that will make them irresistible
to customers."

Nokia 6500 classic

Instantly recognizable by its seamless case crafted from 360 degrees of
anodized aluminum, the Nokia 6500 classic is a 9.5mm thin statement of
unsurpassed attention to detail. As an expression of individuality, each
Nokia 6500 classic is individually polished, ensuring that no two phones
are exactly alike, while diamond polishing used on the beveled display
aperture and cold stamped logo demonstrate the highest levels of
craftsmanship.

However, the attention to detail found in the Nokia 6500 classic is much
more than skin deep. Featuring dual band 3G technology for fast and easy
downloads and browsing and quad-band GSM for worldwide roaming, the Nokia
6500 classic delivers state-of-the-art connectivity options for the most
demanding of customers. A full 1 GB of internal memory means that the
Nokia 6500 classic has capacity for far more pictures, videos, contacts,
songs, messages and other content than the vast majority of other mid-
tier mobile phones.

Nokia's dedication to usability is also evident in the Nokia 6500
classic. The Nokia Series 40 interface, familiar to millions of users
around the globe, provides easy access to the powerful feature set,
including a 2 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and an integrated
music player. Furthermore, a unified micro-USB connector simplifies
charging, audio and data connectivity by consolidating them into a single
compact port. This allows for the Nokia 6500 classic to be easily used as
a high-capacity flash drive or to be charged directly from a laptop
computer - all with one cable.

The Nokia 6500 classic is expected to be available during the 3rd quarter
of 2007 at an estimated retail price of €320 before taxes and subsidies.

Nokia 6500 slide

Featuring an enthusiast-quality 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss
optics and the ability to easily share pictures, videos and even video
calls on a television, the Nokia 6500 slide brings unsurpassed levels of
imaging and sharing to the mid-range market. Additionally, the Nokia 6500
slide delivers a refined tactile experience with its elegant brushed
stainless steel finish and smooth slide mechanism.

The 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics found in the Nokia 6500
slide marks the first time that mid-range camera phone consumers have
been able to experience the outstanding imaging capability of Carl Zeiss
optics. The addition of autofocus, a dual LED flash and 8x digital zoom
optimizes the Nokia 6500 slide for creating high-caliber images. Using
the speed of 3G technology, these images and videos can be quickly shared
with friends around the world, while the TV-out jack allows them to be
instantly viewed on any television with standard RCA inputs. The TV-out
feature can also be used to allow an entire group of people to
simultaneously enjoy the fun of video calling.

Fashioned to stand apart from the crowd, the Nokia 6500 slide
incorporates a number of design elements not often found in a mid-range
device. Ensuring that the sophisticated brushed stainless steel body
retains its timeless beauty, a unique hard coating helps to prevent
scuffs, scratches, and even fingerprints. Precision engineering of the
slide mechanism means that the Nokia 6500 slide feels solid in the hand,
yet moves with a smooth, fluid action to create a decidedly upscale user
impression.

The Nokia 6500 slide is expected to be available during the 3rd quarter
of 2007 at an estimated retail price of €370 before taxes and subsidies.
