New Device Management Features Boost Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite

Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite Delivering Tangible Benefits for IT Managers
                            and End-Users Alike

    NEW YORK, August 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE:NOK) unveils
today the new device management features of its Nokia Intellisync Mobile
Suite. Wider device support, tighter integration to enhance user
experience, remote control, improved theft-loss protection and hardware
control allow IT managers to enhance and scale customer support while
reducing support costs.
    "We are seeing a strong interest from European and global operators and
business customers for device management functions that mirror those of the
IT environment," said Scott Cooper, senior vice president, Enterprise
Solutions, Nokia. "By adding the new capabilities into our current suite of
products, we are responding to the market demand and accelerating the
adoption of business mobility beyond mobile email."
    The new device management features of Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite are:

    - remote control for easy troubleshooting of mobile devices over-the-air

    - ability to control hardware elements such as disabling the use of
    camera or WLAN on a mobile device

    - enhanced theft-loss protection
    Remote control of Windows Mobile devices
    Administrators are able to wirelessly take control of a device not
directly in their hands and visually see the screen of the device. Helpdesk
users are able to access these devices, as if they are actually holding
them, for troubleshooting, initial provisioning, upgrades, and training
purposes. Initially, the remote control feature supports Windows Mobile
devices, with Symbian support to follow in future releases. Remote control
is offered as part of a Nokia Intellisync Device Management license.
    Control of hardware elements for Windows Mobile devices
    Administrators can disable/enable selected hardware elements on
end-user devices such as the camera, Bluetooth, WLAN, infrared and memory
card. A user receives a pop-up screen notification that hardware
functionality is disabled. The setting cannot be overridden by the
end-user. This new functionality gives the option to disable functions like
the camera on a mobile device in case company policy does not allow cameras
on their premises. Control of hardware elements is offered as part of a
Nokia Intellisync Device Management license.
    New theft-loss protection features
    Power-on-password is now supported for S60 3rd Edition Nokia Eseries
and Nokia Nseries devices via the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite client.
This functionality uses the device built-in "lock" application. Similarly,
hard reset is supported for S60 3rd Edition Nokia Nseries devices. The
functionality uses the built-in device "factory reset" application.
    Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite provides businesses with the
flexibility, manageability, and extensibility to connect any corporate data
to any device, over almost any network, to meet both current and future
mobility needs.
