Nokia to collaborate with Warner Music

Nokia and Warner Music International yesterday announced a new marketing collaboration to make music truly mobile for the Nokia 3300 music device, deliveries of which are to start in June.

The collaboration - one of the first international campaigns between Nokia and a single music company - marks a new way for music fans to legally consume music content.

An inbox MMC memory card will include short music clips from emerging artists, as well as True tone ring tones, multimedia message templates and colour wallpapers.

The Nokia 3300 music device is the first Nokia device for the GSM markets supporting True tones, a new way of personalising the combined mobile phone and music device with real music samples as ring tones to alert users of an incoming call.

As an additional bonus, the Nokia 3300 sales packages will contain a CD-ROM of full-length tracks showcasing the talents of young, upcoming artists from Warner Music International, which users can download to their Nokia 3300 music device using the included Nokia Audio Manager PC software.

Designed specifically for enjoying music, the Nokia 3300 music device working on GSM 900/1800 bands, incorporates a portable digital music player (MP3/AAC), a stereo FM radio, a digital recorder, advanced ring tones for a real music experience and enhanced messaging* and games features in a single high quality, fun package.
