New service offers customers unprecedented freedom and value

EMI Music, independents and music publishers join offering

Nokia Remix, London, United Kingdom and Singapore -  At the Nokia
Remix event held today in London and Singapore, Nokia announced the
debut of its pioneering Comes with Music digital entertainment
service which offers consumers a new way to discover and enjoy
music.  Customers who buy a Comes With Music device will be able to
explore and enjoy a diverse catalog of music of international and
local artists with unlimited access to millions of tracks for a year,
keeping the music once the year is over and revolutionizing their
digital music experience.

"Comes With Music sets a precedent for consumer value and convenience
that the rest of the digital entertainment industry is already
copying," said Tero Ojanperä, executive vice president and head of
the Nokia entertainment and communities business. "Trying out a music
recommendation is spontaneous as customers can download without
worrying about the cost of an album or a track - the freedom and
simplicity of the service is unparalleled. And Comes With Music gives
you unlimited access to the millions of tracks in the Nokia Music
Store and the music is all yours to keep - because it's not a
revolution unless you get to keep your music."

Comes With Music offers one year of unlimited access to the entire
Nokia Music Store catalogue and customers can keep all the music that
they have downloaded at the end of the year to continue enjoying
their music collection. Comes With Music will be available across a
range of Nokia devices, including the new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic -
also announced today and the Nokia N95 8GB and Nokia 5310
XpressMusic. With more than 10 million units sold globally since its
introduction last year, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is the best
selling music phone in the world.


EMI Music has joined as the latest major label to support Comes With
Music.

"With the launch of Nokia's Comes With Music, fans now have a new
avenue to find and enjoy music from EMI's catalogue, and our artists
have a powerful new way to reach their fans," said Douglas Merrill,
president, digital business, for EMI Music. "By encouraging music
discovery in an innovative and consumer-friendly environment, Comes
With Music will continue to push experimentation in the digital music
industry."

Comes With Music will also feature a tremendous selection of
independent music, courtesy of deals with The Orchard (NASD: ORCD),
Beggars Group, IODA, the Ministry of Sound, PIAS and Pinnacle. These
companies join Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment
and Warner Music Group in supporting Comes With Music. Nokia has also
secured music publishing rights from CELAS on behalf of EMI Music
Publishing, GEMA on behalf of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, SACEM on
behalf of Universal Music Publishing, as well as the MCPS-PRS
Alliance.

The United Kingdom will be the first market to offer Comes With Music

XpressMusic Comes With Music edition is expected to cost GBP 129.95
