Nokia announced the grand opening of the first Nokia Flagship Store in Mainland China, the only stand-alone Nokia Flagship Store and the largest in the world. The Nokia Shanghai Flagship Store is the seventh of 18 planned Flagship Stores and is the second in the region following the opening of the premier Asia Pacific Flagship Store in Hong Kong.

Five Chinese celebrities served as Nokia ambassadors at the opening ceremony - Hu Yan Bing, VJ Li Chen, An Yu Xuan, Du Cong, and Lian Du.

Colin Giles, President of Nokia China, believes that Nokia Shanghai Flagship store is well positioned to serve as a window for consumers to experience the beauty and distinction of the Nokia brand. The store offers a full portfolio of Nokia products and services, and allows consumers to freely interact with cutting-edge mobile experiences.

As Colin Giles explains, "The Nokia Shanghai Flagship store embodies Nokia's commitment to putting the customer first by providing consumers the opportunity to experience the most dynamic and exciting mobile technology in the world."
