Nokia : Comes With Music
How can you not be impressed by the people at Nokia ?
Tired of downloading music onto your computers (be it legally or *coughs* illegally) then transferring them to your phones AND mp3 players ? The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is your solution – it is not only just a phone but also comes with FREE unlimited songs to download on-the-go !
SMU Campus Radio was invited to the Nokia Radio Show aka the official media launch of Nokia’s new “Comes with Music” phones last week. (Kudos to the people at Text100 and the boyfriend) Being Nokia users ourselves, Ser Hua and myself were really excited to know more about this new series.
The Muttons from 987 hosted the event, there were stage games and casual interviews with the Nokia people and record labels for us to understand the Nokia’s new campaign better.

The main feature is how you can download unlimited tracks for FREE ! (Don’t we all love this word?) I think the Nokia people are really thoughtful when it comes to designing a stylish practical phone that puts their consumers’ needs as top priority.
For instance, I’m carrying my N82 for phone usage+camera and my laptop for internet and transferring of files and my mp3 player for music. Now things are so much easier when you can just click , download music and play them directly on your phone. I thought the stripes concept for this campaign was quite simple (yays for the creative team i suppose) but straight to the point. Great Job ! The media buzz was definitely right at your face yet not too annoying.

The 5800 offers 8GB memory for up to 6,000 tracks and support for all main digital music formats, yays to 3.5mm jack and built-in surround sound stereo speakers ! I really like the touchscreen which wasn’t too sensitive as compared to some of the touchscreen phones out there. The Nokia interface is almost idiot-proof, it is really user-friendly and the price is really attractive too ! Where else can you get a touchscreen phone with these functions AND unlimited FREE downloads of songs from Nokia Music Store ? I’m really tempted to replace my trusty N82 for this. 
Though I would still prefer my 5megapixels camera phone to a 3.2

Back to the event, I was really surprised to see the All American Rejects !! Too bad they didn’t had a chance to play a song or two (but they had this Nokia Party after the launch). 
It was a mad mad queue for the carpark party at night though ! People were already queuing at 5pm !
Nonetheless, it was really a pleasant surprise and woah, they were just steps away !
