Using GPS and Verizon Wireless’ network, VZ Navigator securely communicates valuable location information to customers across the wireless network based on the day of week, time of day and other privacy settings that they establish and manage right from their handsets.

VZ Navigator is initially available on the Motorola V325, a Get It Now(R)-enabled flip phone, also introduced today, offering Verizon Wireless customers the latest in technology and style. The Motorola V325 features a chic brushed metal and soft touch finish, integrated camera with self portrait and color effects, high resolution color display, 30 megabytes of storage and outstanding call performance. The Motorola V325 is available for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year customer agreement.

With VZ Navigator, customers get all the features of an advanced navigation system on their mobile phone at a fraction of the price of other GPS devices and systems. VZ Navigator is available in the getGOING shopping aisle of the Get It Now virtual store beginning today for $9.99 for unlimited monthly access, or $2.99 for 24-hour use. Customers can download the application directly to their Motorola V325.

Download charges for Get It Now applications vary and airtime charges apply when browsing, downloading and using certain applications. Customers need a Get It Now-enabled handset and Verizon Wireless digital service to access the Get It Now virtual store.

Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 Combine the Power of 3G and WLAN With Advanced Voice Services and Mobile Email Applications in a Variety of Designs for Every Employee

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) announced today the addition of three new models to its portfolio of business-optimized devices. The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 - the first of the new Nokia Eseries - are distinctively different in design and allow businesses of all sizes to mobilize their workforce. Nokia Eseries models combine attractive and easy-to-use designs that appeal to individual business users with new underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings, corporate applications and data. Each of the devices is designed to accommodate must-have mobile applications needed in today’s business world like mobile email and advanced voice calling functions. The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and the Nokia E70 will be available in the first quarter of 2006 worldwide.

The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 support today’s most popular and newly announced corporate mobile email solutions like BlackBerry Connect, GoodLink from Good Technology, Inc., Nokia Business Center, Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-On Mail and Visto Mobile.

The new Nokia Eseries devices are built on the latest edition of the Series 60 Platform, the world’s leading smartphone software platform. Series 60 3rd Edition together with Symbian OS v. 9.1 provide an identical application environment for the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70. They include a variety of GSM frequencies and 3G (WCDMA) cellular network support for seamless roaming across different countries, as well as a range of local connectivity options such as WLAN, Bluetooth and Infrared and are USB 2.0 compatible.

The Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 also feature superior voice functionality and quality when compared to other devices that combine PDA-like features with a mobile phone. The devices support advanced voice services, such as Internet (Voice over IP) phone calls, Push to talk, and other SIP-based rich call services giving businesses a variety of ways to make it easier for employees to collaborate or respond rapidly in or out of the office. Companies deploying an Avaya or Cisco IP PBX can connect the new Nokia devices directly to their corporate phone networks, enabling functions employees have come to expect from a corporate network like four-digit dialing and assisted call answering.

“When we carefully considered the requirements of our customers when developing these devices, two clear new trends emerged: the need for IT departments’ to have a secure and manageable platform, and the need for devices to support a variety of employee preferences and different working styles,” said Niklas Savander, senior vice president of Nokia’s business device unit. “We understand what mobility means for business. These devices embody our extensive knowledge of user-focused functional design, security and cutting-edge wireless technologies. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to choose Nokia devices for all their business mobility needs.”

The new business-optimized devices are the first in the industry to support remote device management based on OMA DM* giving the IT manager powerful tools to remotely control and protect corporate data on the device and configure devices via device wipe, device lock or task management, application management and customization, for example. Nokia’s well established competence in network security addresses strict corporate requirements covering information stored on devices, back-office systems and transmitted over networks

The Nokia E60: A classic design with unmatched voice features
The Nokia E60 provides the uncompromised look, comfort and usability of a classically designed mobile phone. Supporting an array of advanced call features from integrated speakerphone and conference calling to voice-aided applications like Push to talk, and IP-based telephony, the Nokia E60 is the best mobile device for active voice communications - in and out of the office. The Nokia E60 offers fast and flexible data connections with WCDMA enabling wide area connections and WLAN offers a cost effective option for local access. Although optimized for one-handed use, its large color screen makes email and calendar entries easy. The Nokia E60 operates in GSM900/1800/1900 and WCDMA2100 networks.

The Nokia E61: Built for mobile email
The Nokia E61 is designed in the familiar style of today’s most popular mobile email devices. Yet it is incredibly slim and packed with powerful new functionality. A cinch to use with either hand, the device has a four-way joystick and full keyboard combined with a wide 16 million color screen making mobile email easier than ever before. Supporting multiple mobile email clients like BlackBerry Connect, GoodLink, Nokia Business Center, Seven Mobile Mail, Seven Always-On Mail, and Visto Mobile, the Nokia E61 provides seamless and encrypted mobile connectivity. Full attachment handling (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF viewer and ZIP manager) and an editing function (document, spreadsheet and presentation) are included. The Nokia E61 also includes the same advanced business call features and IP-based telephony functions as the Nokia E60 and Nokia E70. The Nokia E61 can send and receive emails, even when on a phone call. The Nokia E61 operates in GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA2100 networks.

The Nokia E70: The all-in-one messaging device
At first glance, the Nokia E70 looks like a modern smartphone. Open it up and find a full messaging keyboard for fast and easy thumb typing, a generous color screen for viewing emails, plus attachments (document, spreadsheet, presentation, PDF viewer and ZIP manager) and an editing function (document, spreadsheet, presentation) for staying up-to-date with the inbox. Like the Nokia E60 and Nokia E61, the Nokia E70 supports a common set of applications like advanced voice and email. Nokia will offer two versions of the Nokia E70 - one optimized for mobile networks in Europe and Asia (GSM900/1800/1900/WCDMA 2100) and one optimized for mobile networks in the Americas (GSM850/1800/1900), yet both versions are able to roam in GSM networks across regions.

Nokia also offers a comprehensive service portfolio for its business devices and solutions ranging from technical support to implementation, professional services and technical training. Nokia’s services are available to better serve customers and enable successful end-to-end mobility solutions.

Crimsonata Corporation has just released a truly unique software system, Just1Key Mobile, which unburdens users from having to remember various usernames, passwords, and other personally sensitive information when browsing the web. The system is unlike any other offered today, as it has unmatched convenience and compatibility while still utilizing encryption security that is on par with the best security applications in the industry. It works with any web-browser that is SSL-enabled (Secure Sockets Layer), meaning compatibility with most PDA’s, many mobile phones, and every major computer Operating System released in the past decade.Cliff Crimson, CEO of Crimsonata Corporation, had this to say: “There are hundreds of millions of Internet users with the same problem — too many passwords. We are the only company on the planet to offer a software solution that pairs real security with access-anywhere convenience — even from your mobile phone or PDA.”

Users of Just1Key.com need now only remember just one personal “Passphrase Key” — which is simply a “unique phrase” created by the user that nobody else could guess. With it, users can get to all of their sensitive Internet account information and more, from anywhere. Although Just1Key.com has been offered since 2003, it has now expanded into the realm of mobile devices. Given the company’s geographically redundant servers in multiple countries, and quadruple backup system, the robustness of online user access is extreme.

The creation of Just1Key has been a collaboration between Crimsonata Corporation and Hush Communications, the providers of HushMail.com — the Internet’s most secure web-based email system which is both internationally and industry-respected. “By using our patented Hush Encryption Engine(TM), Just1Key offers the highest level of security in a web-based service,” said Brian Smith, CTO of Hush Communications. “Even if data was taken from the servers, without the user’s personal passphrase it would be inaccessible.”

The compatibility of the Just1Key system is unparalleled, and using the system allows one or more specific features beyond all other current methods of managing passwords and account information. A free demonstration account can be accessed without signing up for anything, at http://www.Just1Key.com .

About Crimsonata Corporation: Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Crimsonata Corporation is dedicated to providing secure Internet software for everyday users and businesses alike, and is currently pursuing solid corporate partnerships.

ROK Entertainment Group, the developer of ‘ROK Player’ technology which allows full-length movies and music video albums to play on mobile phones, today announced the creation of a Joint Venture company in Korea aimed at marketing ROK Player across Asia.

“Because the Asian market is of such enormous importance to us” said Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK “we decided it really needs to be managed from the region itself - hence the creation of ROK Korea”.

Since filing international patents on the new technology developed by ROK to allow the full-screen play of high-definition content on compatible mobile phones, the company has licensed a large portfolio of titles to include movies, music video albums, sports DVD’s and TV comedies from such companies as MTV, Granada ITV, Sanctuary records and Ministry of Sound.

The new company, based in Seoul, will be tasked not just with marketing the existing titles on memory cards in Korea, it will also oversee the licensing of new, regionally-appropriate content as well as the introduction of ROK Player into other territories across Asia.

Joong Hwan Kim, CEO of ROK Korea reports “It’s an idea whose time has come and we’re delighted to be partnering with ROK on the introduction of such an exciting new media vehicle into Asia”.

“ROK Player chips are, effectively, DVD’s for the mobile” added Kendrick “there’s no streaming or expensive downloads involved and everyone with a multimedia handset is now able to watch, for example, their favourite bands playing music, rather than just listening to the music through another device”.

Earlier this year ROK announced the licensing of the worlds first full-length movie – The Shawshank Redemption - and the worlds first full-length music video album – Ministry of Sound ‘Big Tunes’ - on memory cards. The first 12 ROK Player titles are now on sale in selected phone shops across the UK and online at www.rokplayer.com.
