To further strengthen its mobile Internet solutions offering, Nokia signed a reseller agreement with Sonera SmartTrust Ltd, enabling Nokia to offer SmartTrust's wireless PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) solutions to its operator and service provider customers as part of its mobile Internet solutions. A cooperation agreement with Sonera Zed was also made to develop and market platforms for mobile value-added services. Nokia also entered into a number of cooperation agreements to offer mobile e-business applications for corporate customers. Nokia announced worldwide cooperation agreements with Compaq and Siebel Systems to develop and market mobile Internet and intranet solutions to enterprises. Maconomy and Tibco agreed to deploy Nokia's WAP technology to their software offering, and Nokia agreed to integrate TANTAU's Wireless Software to enable enterprises to achieve a more scalable WAP solution. The acquisition of the US-based DiscoveryCom in August strengthened Nokia's broadband market position by adding powerful loop management solutions into its system offering. In September, Nokia, together with other parties, announced the creation of the Location Interoperability Forum (LIF) to facilitate the offering of location-based services worldwide on wireless networks and terminals. Also in September, Nokia Mobile Phones, Europe & Africa received the European Quality Award 2000 from the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) in the large business category.

Nokia Networks. GSM operators continued to expand their existing networks during the third quarter in response to strong subscriber growth. Nokia signed GSM network expansion contracts in China, France, the Philippines and Singapore, in addition to winning two new GSM customers in Austria and Ireland. Nokia also launched Nokia FriendsTalk, a mobile chat application that enables mobile operators and service providers to offer enhanced, easy-to-use group communication services for their subscribers. Nokia further strengthened its leading position in GPRS, a vital stepping stone in the evolution to 3G networks. During the quarter, Nokia signed contracts with 11 customers in Europe and Asia. By the end of the quarter, Nokia had delivered GPRS core networks to over 50 operators, and believes that it now has the largest installed base of any supplier. Four operators in Australia, China, Switzerland and Taiwan launched their commercial GPRS networks, supplied by Nokia. Supporting the fastest time-to-market of 3G services and applications, Nokia launched the Nokia 3GPP LiveSite platform, which allows operators to develop, test and evaluate applications in a real 3G air interface environment.

Nokia continued to build on its leadership by signing new contracts in China and Latin America and announcing several market trials in France. Nokia has now an installed base offering a capacity of over 9 million lines and central offices serving 70 million premises. Commercial shipments of the Nokia MW1122, which combines an ADSL modem and a WLAN access point for the residential gateway market, commenced during the quarter. Nokia Mobile Phones. Strong mobile phone market growth has continued throughout the world with Europe as the largest market showing the biggest growth. Nokia estimates that global mobile phone user penetration has now surpassed 10% and forecasts the worldwide subscriber base to reach 700 million by the year-end and to reach an estimated one billion in 2002. Nokia's mobile phone sales growth again exceeded global market growth due to strong positive development especially in Europe and in Asia- Pacific. In line with the previously stated objective, Nokia has continued to increase its global market leadership compared to both the previous year and quarter. In the third quarter Nokia started deliveries of seven mobile phone models: the Nokia 8290 model for GSM 1900, the Nokia 8260 and the upgraded Nokia 5165 for TDMA 800/1900/AMPS and the Nokia 9110i, 6210 and 3310 for GSM 900/1800 markets. The new entry-level Nokia 3310 model with mobile chat feature was unveiled in September with deliveries commencing before the end of the month. During the ongoing fourth quarter Nokia also plans to start delivering the previously unannounced GSM 1900 version of the model, the Nokia 3390. In September Nokia started to ship the tri-mode Nokia 5185i for CDMA. Another tri-mode CDMA model - the Nokia 6185i - will start shipping during the fourth quarter, as well as the Nokia 6250 tough model for GSM 900/1800. Production ramp-up of the Nokia 7160 WAP enabled model for TDMA is now underway while deliveries of the Nokia 7190 WAP model for GSM 1900 are also scheduled for the ongoing quarter.

Nokia also launched a new free-to-air Digital Multimedia Terminal, the Mediamaster 9450, to the Central European and Middle East markets designed to meet the rapidly increasing digital free-to- air terminals demand in these regions. STATEMENT BY JORMA OLLILA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO: Thanks to the continued healthy market growth and our outstanding execution during the third quarter, we were able to deliver very strong results. Nokia Networks successfully continued its leadership in new network technologies, and Nokia Mobile Phones made smooth and fast product transitions. Both contributed importantly to a quarter with which I am extremely pleased. Nokia is in better shape than ever to lead the market and technology development ahead. We continue to build on existing strengths - our unmatched leadership in technology, design and brand - making Nokia the world's leading company in mobile communications. By adding elements of mobility to the Internet, we see a great possibility to further enrich people's daily lives and the efficiency of companies. In Nokia Networks, we are well prepared for the third generation of mobile networks, where services will drive investments and offer new opportunities. Our recent launches and cooperation agreements further impove our capabilities to offer innovative and cost-efficient networks to our customers. Our leading position in GPRS - with 11 new contracts during the quarter, four commercial launches by Nokia customers, and being first to market in volumes - gives us increased momentum at the dawn of 3G. Time-to-market is one of the most critical success factors for our operator customers. Fast roll-outs of 3G networks and the capability to offer a variety of value-added services for the mass market from the very beginning is required. We are fully geared to fast roll-outs and have demonstrated our aggressive market introduction mode by establishing partnerships for network implementation. However, the importance of continuing GSM deliveries remains high. DSL continues to expand as a means of delivering high bandwidth applications to both business and residential customers. Our growing list of end-to-end broadband access solutions makes us ideally positioned to provide new revenue-generating applications and services for our network operator customers. In mobile phones, we strictly followed our previously outlined plans and started deliveries of several exciting new products. Thanks to our very strong product competitiveness, leading brand, and successful product transitions, we were able to maintain handset margins at a high level and gain market share, even though our new phones only started to have an impact toward the end of the quarter. The ramp-up to volume shipments of our new mobile phones was made faster than ever before. Shortly following their commercial launches, the Nokia 6210 and 3310 together already sold close to two million units in September, clearly illustrating the right positioning of these new models. We believe that our new product portfolio puts us in a strong competitive position for the Christmas period. The strong third quarter gives us confidence in achieving our growth, profitability and market share targets for 2000. By having the right vision and working consistently to achieve our targets we have been able to maintain industry-leading profitability whilst we believe we have gained market share both in new infrastructure technologies and especially in handsets. Our view of the market development fundamentals remains unchanged, with more than 400 million mobile phones estimated to be sold in 2000, leading to an estimated 1 billion users in total during 2002. For 2001 we expect the mobile phone market to be in the region of 550 million units. Segmentation is of utmost importance as we go towards more replacement sales in mobile phones. Both volume and value, rather than volume alone are increasingly driving the market. We have entered the fourth quarter in a very strong position with a solid order inflow in Nokia Networks as well as the leading product portfolio in phones. In terms of EPS, we believe we are heading towards a record-breaking level in the fourth quarter of 2000. For 2001 we reiterate our sales growth target of 25-35% and continued high profitability.
