New Nokia Music Stores, Comes With Music launches and three handsets, two with the
Apart from the 15 Music Stores now in selected countries, the Finns have deemed it fit to introduce its music download service to Mexico today, with Portugal, Norway and South Africa expected to get theirs "in the coming months".
Nokia also plans to roll out Comes With Music (CWM), its unlimited music download service that's bundled with selected handsets to Italy, Sweden and Mexico. Poised to rival Apple's a la carte iTunes store, CWM lets users download as many tunes as they want within a 12- or 18-month period and keep the tracks after that. CWM is currently available in the UK and Singapore, with Australia on the launch pad later this month. No word on whether the service will be available in other Asia-Pacific countries.
The two XpressMusic models, 5730 and 5330, will be available as CWM-enabled devices in selected markets in Q3 at 280 euros and 160 euros, respectively. According to Nokia, the 5730 XpressMusic is its first music-centric handset to come with a full QWERTY keyboard. It'll also have a new Home screen feature that provides shortcuts to music, games, email, etc., with an improved contacts bar for up to 20 names.
Nokia recently launched CWM in Singapore with the 5800 XpressMusic, N96, N85, N79, 5320 XpressMusic and 5220 XpressMusic.
The 5030 XpressRadio, on the other hand, is Nokia's debut offering with an internal FM radio antenna. So instead of having to plug in an external headset, users can simply listen to the radio via the phone's onboard speakers. The 5030 XpressRadio is expected next quarter at less then 40 euros.
