http://music.nokia.ch  are
now live. With five million tracks from major artists, independent
labels, and up-and-coming local acts, the Nokia Music Store lets
people enjoy music directly on their Nokia device or personal
computer.

"With the launch of the Nokia Music Store, Nokia aims to make
available to all Austrian and Swiss users of all ages, the music that
they want at any moment they want, with all the facilities that
mobility permits nowadays," says Michael Lachsteiner, Music Service
Manager, Nokia Austria.

leader. From this partnership the music industry expects a boost in
the download segment - in and outside of Austria and Switzerland,"
comments Hannes Eder, Managing Director Universal Music Austria.

Ivo Sacci, managing Director at Universal Music Switzerland and
president of IFPI Switzerland adds, "The Nokia Music Store will
support growth in the digital music market."

With a single account, music lovers can access the Nokia Music Store
via their desktop computer or directly from optimized Nokia devices
such as the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Browse for new music, get
recommendations or search for your favorite artists, songs or albums
all from the palm of your hand. Once a track captures your attention,
you can add it to your wishlist to buy later or purchase it
immediately for download to your device without having to download
the same song again on your computer. You can also transfer purchased
songs via your PC to compatible Nokia devices.

Individual tracks will cost 1.00 EUR per track and 10.00 EUR per
album in Austria, and 1.50 CHF per track and 15.00 CHF per album in
