- Featuring Exclusive Live Album From The John Butler Trio

Nokia Australia opened the doors of its Nokia Music Store today,
delivering millions of tracks from global hits to local artists and giving
consumers the real freedom to enjoy music at their fingertips, 24/7.

Nokia is celebrating the launch of the Nokia Music Store in Australia
with an exclusive live album from leading independent and ARIA awarding
winning group, The John Butler Trio. Recently recorded in March 2008, the
live performance provides a unique insight into this popular local act. The
live recording is available only from the Nokia Music Store

Rock legend, Jimmy Barnes will be the first local music recommender,
suggesting his top playlist to store visitors.

We will have an exclusive track from Pete Murray and Kate Miller-Heidke
also. The free track of the week will be from Stone Parade, winners of the
Nokia Be Heard competition in 2007.

"It is now access all areas for Australian music lovers," said Shaun
Colligan, General Manager, Nokia Australia.

"Not only we do we have millions of tracks available for consumers, but
we have something for everyone, whatever their music tastes. Australian
consumers can be confident that the Nokia Music Store will have a broad range
of genres including popular and non-mainstream genres and independent
artists.

"We want to be the most locally relevant music story and will feature
artists such as The John Butler Trio, The Presets, Pete Murray, Kate Miller
Heidke, Powderfinger, Silverchair, Lior, Cut Copy, Kisschasey, Kasey Chambers
and many more!"

With a single account, Australian music lovers can access the Nokia Music
Store via their personal computer or directly from their optimised Nokia
devices, including the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N81 8GB and the N82.

In addition, the ability to sync from a PC is available on a wider range
of Nokia models including the latest Xpress Music handets, Nokia 5610 and
Nokia 5310.

The PC store's intuitive user-interface makes streaming full-length
tracks easy and offers options to create customised playlists and to add
tracks on a wishlist that you can decide to buy later. Tracks purchased can
also be transferred via your PC to compatible Nokia devices. The music
collection can then simply be synchronised between the PC and a mobile using
Windows Media Player 11.

All music on the Nokia Music Store can be purchased through a variety of
payment options, including credit cards and pre-paid vouchers.

Individual tracks will cost 1.70 Australian dollars per track and albums
from 17.00 Australian dollars. The Nokia Music Store will also offer a
monthly subscription for PC users to stream an unlimited number of full
length tracks for 10.00 Australian dollars per month.
