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

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

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.

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 be offered as Comes With Music compatible devices in
selected markets.

and provides direct access to music, N-Gage and other applications, like

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

XpressMusic is ideal for music and keeping in touch with your social network.
