Comes With Music is an interactive mobile application that allows consumers to discover several music venues. If you were to purchase a Comes With Service device you would receive a catalog that delivers a wide variety of music to select from. You’ll have access to millions of artist’s songs, and unlimited access as well. The UK was the first to offer Comes With Music features in October 2008. However, Comes With Music is expected to launch in Australia and Singapore this quarter.
Recently Nokia was glad to announce a pan European licensing deal to support Comes With Music. Comes With Music will reach Italy, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Nordic Communities as well.

After days of struggle to bring “Comes With Music” service with major carriers, Nokia has finally got its first carrier as partner. Before that Carphone Warehouse partnered up for this service. 3 UK will launch the Comes With Music Service from 3rd November which will be available with Nokia N95 8GB devices when signing to GBP 35/month contract.
There have been reports in the past which showed that most of the carriers were not interested for this service but now with Nokia and 3 UK partnering up we expect to hear more companies coming up with this service. Recently we have seen Nokia signing up with four major brands which includes EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner Brothers – for Comes With Music as well as many independent labels, giving users unlimited access to millions of tracks that they can also keep at the end of the year’s subscription period.

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.
