Nokia announced that Warner Music Group has officially joined the handset giant's Comes With Music initiative. Warner joins fellow major labels Universal Music Group [0] and Sony BMG Music Entertainment [0] in Comes with Music, which enables consumers to purchase a year of unlimited music downloads via mobile handsets bundled with Nokia's Ovi web services platform--while EMI Music remains a holdout, Nokia has said it is confident deals will be in place with all four majors prior to Comes With Music's late 2008 launch. In addition, WMG content will now be available via the Nokia Music Store download and streaming service, which Nokia said will expand to new international markets in the near future.
