Nokia 5310 Xpress(with)Music
p2pnet news view | Mobiles:- When cellphone makers tout music as a product feature, it’s pretty certain they mainly have younger users in mind.
Yesterday, p2pnet reported student-researchers at the University of New Hampshire ran a survey and, “their findings tallied nicely with the results of an IDC study,” ie, Mobile phones are primarily used as – mobile phones.
Even worse from the cellphone company point of view, at #11, listening to music was way down the list of uses in the UNH study.
Nokia probably hasn’t seen the research but even if it has, nothing loath, it’s picked the UK as the first place to launch its ‘Comes With Music’ offer.
Under it, People who buy the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic ‘Comes With Music’ edition get, “a year of unlimited access to the entire Nokia Music Store catalog with the ability to keep all downloaded tracks even after the year is over,” promises the company.
Says ZDNet, “Like the Rhapsody service, Nokia’s music service allows subscribers to share their music with other subscribers.
“It is not known yet how much Nokia will charge for the new 5310 XpressMusic with the one-year music subscription. Carphone Warehouse currently sells the prepaid version of the 5310 for about US$145, including US$18 worth of talk time. T-Mobile USA has subsidized it for about US$50 with a two-year contract, making it much cheaper option than Apple’s iPhone 3G, which costs US$200 with AT&T’s subsidy.”
When will the promotion start appearing in other countries? Nokia doesn’t say.
