Nokia Accelerates Music Push With Services and Phones

From PC World: Nokia plans to launch its Comes With Music service and open Nokia Music Stores in more countries in the coming months, it said on Wednesday. The company also showed two new XpressMusic phones.

Comes With Music packages mobile phones with a year or 18 months of unlimited access to about 5 million tracks in the Nokia Music Store, and allows buyers to keep any tracks they download even after the year is over, according to Nokia.

The service will launch in Italy, Sweden, Mexico and other countries in the coming months, Nokia said, without providing more details.

The other countries will be announced closer to their opening times, said Steven Stewart, Product Manager for Music Solutions at Nokia. He also expects to soon have more information about a launch in North America.

The service is currently available in the U.K. and Singapore, and Nokia previously announced it will launch in Australia later this month.
