Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the arrival of new Nokia Music
Stores, more Comes With Music launches and three new music devices.
The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic, Nokia 5330 XpressMusic and Nokia 5030
bring people's music to life with features that give music lovers
around the world easy access to the music they love. By expanding the
music range to different price points, introducing more markets with
Comes With Music service and the Nokia Music Store as well as making
the integration of these elements as easy as possible, on both on the

The digital music player that rings in your pocket is also the
library, the shop and the platform to manage all your music.
"We've sold more than 425 million devices with a digital music player
and more than 700 million devices with an FM radio, which clearly
shows that the mobile phone is the natural device for listening to
the music and carrying it with you," said Jo Harlow, Devices, Nokia.
"Combining a connected digital music player like the Nokia 5730
XpressMusic with unlimited access to millions of tracks via Comes
With Music means that in addition to their favourite tracks, music
lovers can discover, experiment, and keep the new music they find."
Currently available in 15 markets across three continents, the Nokia
Music Store lets people browse or purchase music, get recommendations
or search for their favorite artists, songs or albums directly from
their device. Nokia Music for PC software makes it easy to organise
and transfer the music between a PC and compatible device, rip and
burn CDs, as well as discover, stream and download directly from the
Nokia Music Store. Today, Mexico was the latest country to launch a
Nokia Music Store with additional markets such as Portugal, Norway
and South Africa joining the fold in the coming months.
Comes With Music gives people unlimited music downloads from the
Nokia Music Store for a year or 18 months. People can choose from
millions of tracks to download and keep them, even once the year is
over. Currently available in the United Kingdom and Singapore, Comes
With Music will launch in Australia later this month. Additional
launches, including Italy, Sweden and Mexico, are planned for the
coming several months. The newest additions to the Nokia XpressMusic
range - the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic and Nokia 5330 XpressMusic - will

quarter of 2009 for an estimated retail price of 280 EUR before
subsidies and taxes.

With its edgy, top-sliced design and illumination effects, Nokia 5330
XpressMusic is ideal for music and keeping in touch with your social
network. XpressMusic touch keys on the side of the display provide

extra long playtime are ideal for sharing favorite songs with
friends.

2009 with an estimated retail price of less than 40 EUR, before taxes
or subsidies.
