Orange customers on the Nokia 5800 can enjoy a degree of exclusivity now. Orange and Nokia have recently made an announcement that they will start Nokia’s ‘Comes With Music’ service exclusively for Orange customers on the Nokia 5800.
This service offers access to the Nokia Music Store, which has over 6 million tracks. Orange will now feature the Comes With Music on the Nokia 5800 across a collection of monthly price plans and upgrades it from Friday 29th May 2009. Additionally, Orange customers will exclusively be able to acquire the Nokia 5800 Comes With Music in black/silver.
Orange will be the only UK network to offer the Comes With Music service and will do so across five ‘Comes With Music’ price plans. The Orange package not only includes Nokia 5800 ‘Comes With Music’ handset and unlimited music downloads but also inclusive calls and texts will be offered on 24-month contracts, with each available from Orange on the high street (Orange retail and P4U) online and via telesales.
Speaking on the announcement, Francois Mahieu, Director of Devices for Orange UK, commented, “We’re extremely excited about being the exclusive UK operator to offer Comes With Music on the Nokia 5800. We are always looking for ways to remove the barriers that stand between our customers and the things they love and believe that by offering this service, we are able to do just that.”
Unlimited free tracks can be downloaded from the Nokia Music Store to users’ PC for transfer to their Orange Nokia 5800 ‘Comes With Music’ handset, once users have signed up. At standard mobile data prices, downloading tracks ‘over the air’ via users’ handset will also be a possibility.
Consumers can download unlimited music for the length of the two-year contract and can retain that music once that duration ends. Orange starts these plans at under 25 GBP per month.
