«Nokia will tomorrow launch a mobile phone to rival Apple's iPhone as the must-have gadget for Christmas.
Apple's iPhone will be launched in Europe later this year
Industry sources claim that the N81, which goes on sale in November, will allow users to download music to it directly.
They hope it will be more user-friendly that the iPhone, which requires people to download songs to iTunes on their computer before they can be transferred to the handset.
A survey of 16- to 24-year-olds last year found that the "I want it now" generation is turning its back on record stores and iTunes to download songs directly to their phones.
But industry watchers said yesterday it was unlikely that N81 handset would steal the march from the iPhone, which has gone on sale in America and will be launched in Europe later this year.
Mark Wilson, editor of Stuff, the consumer technology magazine, said: "I still think the iPhone will have the edge. In terms of covetability, the iPhone comes out on top because it is much more than just a phone."
