Nokia, the world's biggest cellphone maker, said today it signed a marketing agreement with Warner Music International to deliver music content for its upcoming Nokia 3300 cellphone, which also plays music.
The 3300 — expected to be released in June — includes a 64-megabyte multimedia memory card with short music clips, allows for real music samples as ring tones, and ships with a CD-ROM with recordings featuring artists from Warner Music, Nokia said.
The phone supports MP3 and AAC compressed audio file format, which can be transferred from a personal computer with a USB cable. It also features a built-in FM stereo.
The companies said the deal "marks a new way for music fans to legally consume music content."
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Nokia leads cellphone sales with about 35.8 per cent of all mobile phones sold worldwide, according to Gartner Dataquest, an industry research firm. Last year, Nokia claimed a 38 per cent market share.
Nokia has sales in 130 countries and 53,000 workers around the world
