Nokia says that Liberation Music and its associated labels "have an unrivalled and diverse Australian roster of artists including Jimmy Barnes, Bliss 'n Eso, Josh Pyke, diesel, Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, The Temper Trap, Troy Cassar-Daley and many more." Nokia Australia says it will announce its Comes with Music enabled devices in Australia by end of March 2009. The service is sold in the UK on the 5310 which has been described a rather outdated. Nokia's first touchphone the 5800 will support Comes With Music but Nokia is yet to launch this combination.

He/She has the 5800 Comes With Music launching first in India, this month, and in the UK, in Q2. He claims an 'official' date for the Australian launch of the 5800 of 25 March at a 'rumoured' price of $572. NZ release is also officially slated for the current quarter. Another Comes With Music phone Nokia announced on 10 February the 5630 XpressMusic, billed as "a new ultra-slim S60 device that offers a complete entertainment experience, letting individuals quickly and easily play music, videos and games, as well as share content."
