Nokia Music Store became available in the UK.

Now any owner of the Nokia N95 ar N81 handset will be able to wirelessly download music tracks directly to his phone. Each track costs 80 pence, and the whole album will cost you 8 pounds. Quite pricey, don't you think? Anyway, there's no doubt that the service will be popular; it has a nice interface and a decent media library.

According to Verizon Wireless, the new Samsung Juke swivel music phone will appear in retail stores and online starting October 19.

Handset's music features include 2GB of on-board memory, stereo Bluetooth, and support for a multitude of audio formats.

Juke will be available for $99 after rebate and new 2-year service agreement.

The 8GB version of the Nokia N81 S60-based 3G music smartphone is now available online.

However, we still don't know when the device will appear in stores... Apart from 8GB memory capacity, the handset features:

• WCDMA 2100 + GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz;
• 16.7M-color QVGA display;
• Bluetooth 2.

BenQ introduced its new T33 music slider allowing users to listen to their favorite tracks even without a SIM card inserted.

The T33 phone is available in a shiny mirrored finish (which means lots of fingerprints ;)), comes with dedicated external music controls, and supports MP3, AAC, and AAC+ formats.

The device may not look very attractive, as you can see, but it is just the thing for music lovers with its integrated Hi-Fi speakers, 4GB of memory, 2.4" LCD touch-screen, aluminum navigation wheel, and a dedicated button to switch between music and phone functions.

Samsung SGH-t539, also known as the Beat, is a new music clamshell available now through T-Mobile.

Its features include support for quad-band GSM/EDGE networks, stereo Bluetooth and stereo speakers, 1.3Mpix camera, and a microSD slot with an included 1GB memory card.

In addition, the carrier has added support for its MyFaves service.

The V640i should appear by the end of the year, but the price is yet unknown.

Samsung has added a couple of fresh colors to its Ultra Music F300 handset - Orange and Red.

Now, if you want to attract some attention to your person, this phone may come in handy. :)

New photos of the upcoming Samsung SGH-F200 ultra-thin music phone have been released.

The device appears to be the successor of the company's X830 swivel phone, but unlike its predecessor F200 is focused on music playback.

The new handset features a 1.46" 220 x 128 display, 5MB of internal storage + microSD slot, headphone jack, and supports MP3, WMA, OGG, DCF, and SMP audio formats.

Vodafone and Omnifone plan to launch a new music service in November, called MusicStation, which will allow customers to download any number of songs they want for just $4.02 weekly.

The music library consists of more than a million songs from four major labels.

Currently, the only handset supporting this service is the 8GB Nokia N95 , but the carrier promises to add more phones to the list before the end of the year.
