A very nice gesture from Nokia. See Press Release via Darla Mack

To aid in continued efforts to provide food and shelter to people affected by Hurricane Katrina's devastation, Nokia has made a donation of $1 million to the American Red Cross.

Mobile phones will be donated to the Red Cross at shelters in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas, to help evacuees contact family members. Nokia is also providing support to wireless network operators working to re-establish service in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Nokia will also match employee contributions to disaster relief efforts at 100 percent.
