Music lovers set for free downloads to mobile phones

MUSIC lovers could soon get unlimited downloads of music on to their mobile phones after manufacturer Nokia struck a deal with major record label Universal.

Computer firm Apple is reportedly in talks with music companies for a similar deal for its iPhone device, which went on sale in Ireland eight days ago.

Nokia’s deal means purchasers of the phone giant’s “Comes with Music” brand of mobiles will be able to download unlimited tracks from the Universal group.
