Nokia is launching a fresh assault on Apple’s iPhone today with a new range of phones that will give music lovers access to an unlimited service. The offer will be extended to users who are willing to buy Nokia phones. With Music pre-pay phone will be able to download up to 2.1 mil music tracks onto their computer for no extra charge for 12 months. This is about a quarter of the number available from Apple’s iTunes.

Users can then transfer these tracks to their Nokia phones and after a year users will need to buy a new device in order to continue downloading new releases so if they choose not to buy a new device, they can keep all the tracks they have already downloaded.

It seems like the first phone with this service will be Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and UK will be the first market to get Comes With Music. On the other side a bit sad news is that All five UK networks have talked with Nokia about Comes With Music but there haven’t been any developments.
