Nokia talks to major labels about music service: report


HELSINKI (Reuters) -
Nokia is in talks with all the major
music labels to sell their songs through its "Comes With Music"
service, expected to be launched later this year, a company
executive told the Financial Times on Thursday.

"We have negotiations and discussions ongoing with all the
majors and a number of indies as well," Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's
executive vice-president, told the Financial Times. "Certainly
our target is to have other labels on board."

Nokia said in December it would offer unlimited music from
at least Universal Music Group for buyers of certain Nokia
devices
.

The world's top mobile phone maker was well placed to
weather the economic downturn, Vanjoki also told the Financial
Times
