Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced recently the launch of its 5800 Comes With Music concept on the Mexican market through America Movil's Telcel subsidiary. The new offer combines the Comes With Music service with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the first touchscreen device coming from the phone maker, and is available in Mexico starting May 1.

Mobile phone users in the country who would like to benefit from this offer can get the solution either through Telcel's Authorized Customer Centers or via its Authorized Distributors, as well as from Nokia's flagship store at the Antara Shopping Mall and Nokia's Online Store.

Comes with Music offers the owners of a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device a wide-ranging music catalog that includes tracks from local and international artists, allowing them to download as many songs as they like from Nokia Music Store for one year. In addition, all the downloaded tracks will be theirs to keep after the subscription period is over.

“The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has already sold 3 million devices worldwide, now Mexican consumers will be able to get hold of the 5800 Comes With Music,” said Francisco Lorenzo, Nokia Mexico director. “Users can simply find and discover all the music they want, without worrying about the price of each album or track. Simplicity and freedom of use are two of the leading features of this service, but most revolutionary of all is that users get to keep all their favorite music in their PC or Nokia device without worrying about the cost of each track,” he added.

Users will be able to choose from millions of songs available on the Nokia Music Store in Mexico, which combines all known music labels, including EMI, Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and more, with other music agents and independent music companies.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic comes with other features as well, offering users the possibility to surf the web while delivering flash content support and a simple pop-up menu called “Multimedia Bar” that provides direct access to music and entertainment. At the same time, the “Contacts Bar” enables users to highlight four contacts on the homescreen menu.

“Today's needs for communication are greater, that's why Telcel is always looking at offering the best devices like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, a phone that will provide our users with a new way of experiencing the music in a mobile phone,” said Patricia Hevia, operations director of Telcel's Region 9. “The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic takes advantage of Telcel's 3G network, which today covers 149 cities and thousands of villages.”
