Nokia

In line with its goal to sell 80 million music enabled handsets by the end of the year, Nokia has come out with the 5300 XpressMusic phone. The integrated music player can store up to 1,500 tracks on a 2GB microSD card, supports wireless stereo headsets via Bluetooth technology, and features dedicated music keys to start, top, pause and rewind tracks.

While it can's support music bought from iTunes, it does support Microsoft's WMA technology, as well as MP3s and non-DRM protected AAC files. It also comes with a micro USB PC connection for fast transfer of music files.

No word yet on which U.S. carriers will offer the device, but it is expected to become available early next year, which is when pricing will be announced.
