"We are pleased with Nokia's solution for mobile networks and are happy to continue working with Nokia to meet our capacity and service needs. We are confident that these deployments will position us to offer the best possible services based on EDGE and UMTS technologies in a timely and competitive way."

"Nokia is happy to see our long cooperation with Polkomtel now extending to 3G," says Wojciech Pytel, Managing Director, Nokia Poland. "The agreement reinforces Nokia's long-standing role as a strong technology partner with Polkomtel and demonstrates clearly the trust that has grown between our companies. We're pleased to be doing our part to bring 3G to Poland."
