Helsinki (Finland) - Nokia has unveiled a new wireless platform for downloading music and games onto mobile phones.

The world's top cell phone manufacturer detailed the new service at a press conference in London.  The mobile platform aims to have a more streamline feel than services offered through mobile service providers like Sprint and Verizon.

All games will include free trials.  Full versions will be priced at around $8 to $10.  Some titles will also be playable online with exclusive multiplayer features.

Music downloads will be priced at around $1.35, and users will be able to transfer the files to a PC.

The new service will roll out to Europe later this year, with the US to follow.
