Nokia Remix, London, United Kingdom – 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 enter-tainment industry is already copying," said Tero Ojanperä, executive vice president and head of the Nokia en-tertainment 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 ser-vice 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 mu-sic."
