    LOS ANGELES, California, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE:
NOK) today showcases the consumer experience of its new mobile gaming
platform at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). For the first
time, visitors can explore the key part of this new experience - a
pre-installed application which allows consumers to easily find, buy and
play rich and immersive games on a range of Nokia Nseries multimedia
computers and other Nokia S60 devices. These next generation mobile games
are designed specifically for mobile devices which means they are quick to
pick up, fun to play and hard to put down.
    "Today, visitors can discover for themselves what Nokia's next
generation mobile gaming strategy is all about," says Jaakko Kaidesoja,
director, games, Multimedia, Nokia. "Our aim with this new strategy is to
make entertaining, top quality mobile games accessible to as many people as
possible. With this new mobile gaming experience available on a range of
Nokia smartphones, we're making gaming a core part of your mobile
entertainment."
    Smartphones, such as the Nokia Nseries range of multimedia computers,
are driving the growth of mobile gaming and are integral to Nokia's mobile
gaming strategy. With their advanced telephony and rich internet
functionality, Nokia smartphones can provide the highest quality of
connected mobile games that are always with you.
    "We've also announced a strategic cooperation with Gameloft," adds
Kaidesoja. "By working with this leading games publisher, we're making even
more games available for Nokia device owners. This collaboration will
improve mobile gaming experiences in our next generation mobile gaming
platform."
    Gaming communities are another key element of Nokia's mobile gaming
strategy. The N-Gage Arena will be a core part of Nokia's next generation
mobile gaming experience as well as the SNAP Mobile Java activities.
    "The 'community' aspect is an extremely important differentiator and
all our next generation mobile games will be N-Gage Arena compatible,"
continues Kaidesoja. "With the new user interface, the N-Gage Arena is only
a few clicks away, providing access to your friends, rivals, heroes and
other gamers. We want to not only entertain, but connect gamers to one
another by allowing them to share game achievements and chat online."
    Nokia also announced its first range of games for the new mobile gaming
platform including: Creatures of the Deep, ONE, Pocket Aces, Pro Series
Golf, Space Impact and System Rush: Evolution. Demos of all new games are
