SAO PAULO, Brazil -The Nokia 5800, with Comes With Music close in tow, has grown into something bigger than perhaps anyone could imagine it would have become, with already over 3 million sold (and could possibly become the most popular device in Nokia’s history as OPK explained last week). Today marks another milestone, as the 5800 Comes With Music has now officially set foot of the sandy shores of Brazil.
We took stock of the achievements of Comes With Music last month (read more), a service that has become inextricably linked to the poster-child 5800 (though by no means exclusively, with CWM available on the N95 8GB and other XpressMusic devices). And it’s no secret that here on Conversations we’re fans of the service, so we’re really pleased to see it hit the home of samba – both Charlie and I are half Brazilian, which sort of makes the Conversations team a quarter Brazilian! But I digress. Read on to find out more about the 5800 Comes With Music in Brazil, along with details of how you can get hold of it and full details on the local Brazilian record labels that are now available via Comes With Music.

ESPOO, Finland – Rumors are a normal part of life. Someone hears something or thinks they heard something and, next thing you know, it’s repeated everywhere as fact.
For the most part, here at Nokia, we follow those rumors, but let most of them be. Of the ones that have any staying power, or that have the potential to snowball into something more serious, we look at these more closely and weigh action. In the end, there are a few we feel can be clarified and put to rest with a simple statement.
Below, I have listed four rumors we have read or heard in the past few weeks that could use a sentence of two to shoo them away. Read on the learn more.
ESPOO, Finland – Wow. Today is our first anniversary (we went public on 21 April 2008*) and it’s amazing what we’ve accomplished in one year. When we set off on this adventure, we sort of had our own ideas on how it would be received, what challenges we would face, and where we would be at this stage. But, we really came to this with open minds and few expectations, keeping us ready to grow and respond to conditions as needed.
As with many milestones, we’d like to pause and take stock of some of our highlights (and “lowlights”) and even think a bit about the coming year. Please read on and see if you remember the year the same way we do.
GLOBAL – We have the benefit of sitting right in the middle of Nokia’s communications department. And, no joke, it’s a really communicative department, such that we get a good heads up on a lot of announcements, or what are the hot topics of the moment, or if there are any tidbits that you folks would find interesting.
Today is no different. Through the departmental grapevine, I heard some news about the sales of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in the first quarter of this year. And, as you all know, we keep pushing the 5800, since we were predicting it would be big.
And we were right. Not to tease you anymore, this is what I found out.
