ESPOO, Finland and OSLO, Norway, January 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Nokia and Trolltech ASA today announced that they have entered into an agreement that Nokia will make a public voluntary tender offer to acquire Trolltech (http://www.trolltech.com), a company headquartered in Oslo, Norway and publicly listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
