2. Nokia envisions a world where
connecting people to what matters
empowers them to make the most
of every moment
3. There are more than six billion of us on this planet. We are
all different and we value many different things in life. To
some people, what matters is staying in touch and sharing
experiences; others want to provide for their families and
get ahead in their careers; some just want to have fun and
live for the moment. More often than not, what matters to
you is a unique combination of all of these.
At Nokia we increasingly see mobile communications helping
everyone connect to the things that matter most in their
lives. And because that’s important in itself, that means
being connected any time and in any place.
Connecting people in new and exciting ways means giving
everyone the power to choose when and how to stay in
touch with those important things, so that they can make
the most out of every moment. The majority of the people
on this planet already have a mobile device, but we are
entering an age where soon a whole world of smart services
will be a part of each person’s life.
So imagine an entire planet where people, places and infor-
mation are seamlessly connected; where communications
devices and services are such an integral and indispensable
part of our lives, they really do become second nature.
This is how we see the world and the role of communications
in making it happen. On the following pages we hope you’ll
get some idea of how Nokia is making this come to life.
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia CEO

These innovative solutions will provide

Turning future ideas into reality
You find yourself in Barcelona, Spain…
You come across a beautiful building, an object like nothing else you have ever seen.
Naturally, you want to find out more. You could break the moment and use your device
to browse the internet, or you could simply point your device at the building and let
the technology find the information for you, almost like live TV.
The same could go for a movie poster. You point your device at the poster, and it
instantly plays you the movie trailer, checks seat availability at the nearest movie
theatres, and lets you buy tickets. It also tells you which of your friends or family are
nearby, and helps you purchase tickets for them too.
These are just two examples of how mobile solutions will soon make your life easier
and more fun, made possible when your mobile device combines your social contacts
with your physical location. We call this Social Location, or SoLo for short. And it’s just
around the corner.
Think of it as your mobile phone, the internet and PC coming together to form one
easy-to-use whole – working together as a kind of sixth sense.

Why live in different worlds?
Many of us regularly tap into three different digital worlds: the
PC, the web and the mobile world. Nokia is working to remove
the artificial barriers that have long existed between them.

10. Since its foundation way back in 1865, Nokia has
always steered a course based on a clear vision
and strategy. The company has a long history
of technological innovations and a leading role
in enabling people to maximize the social and
economic benefits from mobile communications.
This led to mobile communications being the
fastest-growing technology in mankind.
We are proud of our heritage and the values
that guide our thinking and everyday actions.
They are the foundation of Nokia’s success.
Our way of
doing business
10
Truly global
Our innovations and understanding of people’s needs are based
on studies of more than 100,000 consumers in almost 30 countries.
These studies represent an unparalleled amount of insight, some
12 billion data points to be exact. But we don’t just look at data.
Our designers and anthropologists go out into the real world to see
exactly how people are using mobile and Internet technology as part
of their everyday lives. All this quantitative and qualitative data are
fed directly back into our portfolio management and design, so that
our products and services are as inclusive and useful to people as possible.
Our employees – from design engineers and software programmers
to product line specialists and sales staff – can be found across the globe.
We know we can only fully understand the wide diversity of people’s
needs, and work to meet them, by being close to our customers.
Local presence on a worldwide scale means we can offer our
customers a broad portfolio of devices and services. Our assets include
a worldwide distribution network, flexibility and efficiency in logistics
and the trust that comes from one of the world’s leading brands.
11. Connecting over a billion people every day
The global four billion mobile subscriber milestone was reached in
early 2009, according to the GSM Association, an industry trade group.
More than one billion people place their trust in Nokia devices and
services each and every day. In fact, Nokia was ranked the fifth best
brand in the world by Interbrand in 2008, for the second consecutive year.
‘Connecting People’ is at the heart of the Nokia brand. This increas-
ingly means connecting people to what matters most, to give them
the power to make the most of every moment.
Our vision of the world is already becoming
a reality. We are providing the gateway for
people to join this connected world through
popular services such as Ovi Maps, Ovi Mail
and Comes with Music.
And if you wish to use your Nokia device
to access other navigation, email, social net-
11
work, photo-sharing and other sites, you can.
Corporate email inboxes are also on the
device menu with ninety per cent of clients
(Microsoft Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus
Notes Traveller) being fully compatible and
easy to set up.
12. Solid foundations
Nokia continues to invest in its own research and development
while championing the use of open systems. We see our role
as a catalyst for innovation. That is why we moved to establish
the Symbian Foundation, one of the biggest contributions to
an open community that our industry has ever made.
Developing this
mobile future

13. A healthy and vibrant community
We believe that the greatest innovations come from having a
strong community of partners. That’s why we are committed to
working closely with our users, developers, operators and other
partners. A healthy community of partners will bring innovations
to the market much faster than companies working on their own.
Some of these innovations are inspired by our own research into
how people use mobile and Internet technology.
Excellence outside, excellence inside
13
The innovations of a strong partner community then feed into our
research and development teams which in turn drive product design.
We then work with the leading operators in the world to help bring
these products to market and to tailor them to specific needs.
4 million minds and counting
Nokia’s global developer program, Forum Nokia connects developers
to tools, technical information, support, and distribution channels
that they can use to build and market applications around the globe.
With more than 4 million registered developers in the Forum Nokia
community, Nokia actively supports taking the tools, building upon
them and innovating on Nokia platforms for a host of new services
and content types.
One innovative and potentially lucrative distribution channel for
content providers and developers is the Ovi Store, a scalable media
distribution network.

further increase energy efficiency.
We are also creating environmentally-
themed services and applications that
will help you use your mobile device
to make informed and sustainable

16. Our culture, our values
Bringing together talent, vision and shared principles
A flat, networked organization, as well as speed and flexibility in decision-making,
characterize our way of working, which we call the Nokia Way. Openness towards
people and new ideas, as well as integrity, are key qualities we encourage at all times.
We look for innovative ways to create and introduce our products and solutions to
the market and so provide the people that work in our company with a platform for
personal growth in a challenging and dynamic environment.
Values for everyday business
As with every other company, our company values set us
apart by how well they are reflected in everything we do.
We’re proud of our values because they have made us
what we are today. They provide direction for consistent
behaviour, as employees and citizens of the world, and
towards our transformation into an internet company. To

21. The right acquisitions
Among other acquisitions in 2008,
the Nokia family was expanded
with NAVTEQ, a leading provider
of digital map information for
navigation and mapping systems.
This strategic acquisition is a
key enabler for our concept of
‘Social Location’ and our range 21
of location-based services.
