Omnifone has announced a partnership with LG to produce the first handset in the newly launched MusicStation Max unlimited mobile music handset programme.
With other major handset manufacturers set to follow, MusicStation Max provides the user with a pre-licensed phone meaning unlimited downloads, playback and sharing of music for free. The new handset, which will appear in the first half of this year, will have 3G/HSDPA support and will feature a touchscreen interface.
Once users sign up to a special music, voice and data plan for 12 or 18 months, no more payment will be required to access unlimited amounts of musical content.
It's worth noting, however, that the unlimited access only applies as long as the individual carrier does not add a proviso of their own. You can change to another MusicStation Max handset at the end of the contract or continue to play content on your existing phone at no extra charge. Your music is also backed up by the network, so if you lose the phone, you don't lose the content.
