Orange bringing Comes With Music-equipped Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to UK

What a difference a year and a half makes, eh? It was August of 2007 when Orange first got all weird on Nokia over the then-wild concept of a manufacturer-owned and operated music store — bear in mind the iPhone hadn’t launched very widely at that time — and look how far we’ve come. The two companies have just announced that the venerable Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be available starting May 29 loaded up with Comes With Music, Nokia’s all-you-can-eat service that brings endless downloadable tracks through its Music Store. In Orange’s case, Comes With Music will be available on any of five special plans starting at £25 a month (about $38), meaning that you’ll be able to nab music for the duration of your two-year contract. As long as DRM’s in the mix, you’re basically locked into your contract for as long as you want the definitive Bryan Adams collection that you’ve downloaded — so we’re hoping Nokia nixes that nightmare sooner rather than later. And hey, congrats, Orange customers — you’re the first Brits to officially be offered this through a carrier, and you’ll be getting it in an “exclusive” black / silver color combo.
