Espoo, Finland - Saunalahti, the consumer brand of Elisa, will launch
the Nokia Messaging push email service to consumers across Finland.
With Nokia Messaging, Saunalahti customers will be able to enjoy a
seamless and real-time email experience at an affordable price on
their mobile devices. Already collaborating to bring Ovi services to
mobile devices, today's announcement further extends the strategic
alliance between Elisa and Nokia to whet consumers' growing appetite
for more multimedia services and applications. Elisa is the first
Finnish operator to launch Nokia Messaging in Finland.

"Nokia Messaging is easy to use, and brings the most frequently used
functions right upfront so that users have a comfortable mobile email
experience on their devices. With a fixed monthly fee, consumers no
longer need to be tethered to their PCs, but can get access to their
mailboxes anytime, anywhere - even when they are at their summer
cottages," said Mr Panu Lehti, Product Manager, Elisa.

Nokia Messaging is expected to launch in Finland to Saunalahti
subscribers in June 2009 at a price of 4.95 EUR per month. The
monthly fee includes the Nokia Messaging service, a 4GB mailbox, and
unlimited email data usage within Finland.

"Our goal is to make mobile email as accessible and easy to use as
voice calls or text messaging, enabling consumers to walk out of the
stores with their email accounts already set up and running," said
Mauri Pietikainen, Nokia's Country Manager for Finland. "Mobile
email, coupled with our other services, makes our devices more
compelling and relevant to consumers. With Saunalahti's very
attractive data plan and bundle, consumers will no longer face 'bill
shock', and will be able to enjoy a rich email experience on their
devices no matter where they are, and at their convenience."

Nokia Messaging mobilizes email accounts from Elisa and Saunalahti,
as well as email solutions from thousands of internet service
providers (ISPs) and email service providers (ESPs) around the world
on Nokia devices. Consumers can access up to ten personal email
accounts on one single device. To mobilise their email account, all
users have to enter are their email address and password, and emails
are seamlessly pushed to their device. Nokia Messaging also makes it
simple to read, send, forward and reply to emails, download and read
attachments, and attach files to emails directly on their Nokia
device.

Nokia Messaging can be downloaded and setup on a wide range of
devices, and will also be preloaded in new Nokia S60 devices,
including the Nokia E75.
