Nokia wins three top awards
by the UK's Mobile News magazine

Nokia, the world's leading mobile handset manufacturer, swept the board at this year's Mobile News Awards held in London, winning the awards for Manufacturer of the Year, Most Innovative Product and Most Technologically Advanced Product.

The judging panel of industry experts awarded Nokia the coveted title of Manufacturer of the Year as a result of its bold moves in 2005. These included its launch of the Nokia Nseries sub-brand, its entrance into new territories through its music and youth platforms, the re-claiming of its design leadership and the creation of a new field sales force.

Nokia also picked up the Most Innovative Product award for the Nokia N91. This device has been recognised as a true mobile music experience and is the flagship music device from the groundbreaking high performance multimedia Nokia Nseries range. The Nokia N91 is the first 3G device to include an integrated 4-gigabyte hard disk providing consumers with the largest storage capacity on a handset with up to 3,000 songs and 12.5 hours worth of unparalleled sound quality.

Nokia was also presented with the Most Technologically Advanced Product award for the Nokia N92. The Nokia N92 is the world's first integrated DVB-H mobile device and represents a significant leap forward for both the mobile and television industries. With DVB-H television services set to launch globally in 2006, the Nokia N92 provides an indication of how people will be consuming live television on the move in the future.

Commenting on the win Mats Wolontis, Managing Director of Nokia UK, said: "Everyone at Nokia worked very hard in 2005 to cement our position as the number one manufacturer and to produce cutting edge devices such as the Nokia N91 and Nokia N92. It's great to receive recognition for this hard work - especially when it originates from our colleagues in the mobile industry."
