Sydney, Australia - Nokia's revolutionary digital music offer, Comes
With Music, will be commercially available in Australia on 20 March
2009 together with the highly anticipated Nokia 5800 XpressMusic,
Nokia's first mass market touch screen device.

"While the hot-selling Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has already sold a
million devices worldwide*, Australians we will be among the first in
the world to get their hands on a Comes With Music-enabled Nokia 5800
XpressMusic when it hits the stores next month," said Emile Baak,
General Manager, Nokia Australia and New Zealand.

"We believe that Comes With Music offers great value and will
revolutionise the way music lovers can explore, discover and enjoy
music. By combining Comes With Music with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
we are providing a great music great offer on a great device," he
said.

The Australian Nokia Music Store has over 4 million tracks from local
and international artists. Consumers can either download direct to
their 5800 XpressMusic handset or direct to PC and transfer the music
across to the device and, unlike most subscription services, anything
they download is theirs to keep.

"The fact that you get to keep your downloaded music is what makes
Comes With Music unique and great value," Baak said.

Music lovers can stay connected to the music they like, yet no longer
worry about the cost of purchasing music by single tracks or album.
The freedom and simplicity of the service is unparalleled.

Nokia's other Comes With Music markets to date are the United Kingdom
and Singapore.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

As a handset, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers all the music
essentials, including a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6000
tracks and support for all main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm
jack. Built-in surround sound stereo speakers offer the industry's
most powerful sound.

The touch screen interface features an innovative 'Contacts Bar'
which lets consumers highlight four favorite contacts on their
home-screen and, through a single touch, track a digital history of
recent text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.

As people around the world use their phones in different ways, the
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers a variety of input methods including a
virtual alphanumeric keypad, a virtual computer-style QWERTY
keyboard, a pen stylus -- and for true music enthusiasts, a plectrum
will also be included in box.

The 3.2" widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web
content to life in vibrant color and true clarity. With a 16:9 aspect
ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and 25 fps recording, the
device is ideal for VGA quality video recording and playback.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with
Carl Zeiss lens and, with a single touch, images or videos can be
shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr,
or Facebook.
