Opening Today: the Nokia Music Store in France

PARIS, April 23/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Nokia Music Store in France combines quality music and exceptional
mobile devices, all without sacrificing ease-of-use. It also offers over 2.5
million titles from the best French and international artists, of which some
are available exclusively. Local music is very important in France, where
more than 60% of songs on the "Hit Parade" hits list are by local artists.
Nokia is working with major record companies as well as independent labels
and the top local artists.

"The music industry isn't just about selling songs; it is also-and
especially-a way to share new musical experiences. Nokia aims to provide the
best music experience by building services into its mobile devices to satisfy
users who want to be able to access their music collections anytime,
anywhere, and for a reasonable price," explains Eric Munier, music activities
manager, Nokia France.

"The opening of the Nokia Music Store will also be an opportunity to
introduce Nokia to the music industry in France. We look forward to
cooperating with French labels and artists. In this context, the Nokia Music
Store will allow artists to talk about their musical world and what they're
working on. Free songs will also be available each week in order to discover
new talents," continued Munier.

Downloads will cost EUR1.00 per song and albums will start at EUR10.00.
With a EUR10.00 monthly subscription, users will have unlimited access to
listen to the entire catalogue on their PCs.

With a single account, music lovers can access the Nokia Music Store from
their desktop computers or directly from compatible Nokia mobile devices such
as the Nokia N81 8GB, Nokia N82, and the Nokia N95 8GB. You can search for
new music, get advice, or search for your favourite artists, songs, or
albums, all from the palm of your hand. When an item grabs your attention,
you can add it to your selection to purchase later, or download it instantly
to your mobile device.
