Nokia will announce three new Comes with Music phones later today at its Comes with Music event, scheduled for Wednesday morning.

The new handsets will be the 5330 XpressMusic, 5730 XpressMusic and the Nokia 5030 according to Allaboutphones.nl who is reporting the scoop.

The site is reporting that the new 5730 will be an Xpress Music version of the E75 with a QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and GPS support, and judging by the pictures be a re-badge of the previously announced XpressMusic 5630 first announced in February with the addition of that slide out keyboard.

However new to the Comes with Music range, the phone will sport something supposedly called the "Xpress Home Screen" that allows you to "directly access all your media".

The second handset will be the XpressMusic 5330, a slider device that will promise a 24-hour battery life and streamlined design.

The third handset is expected to be the 5030 a candybar design handset that will feature XpressRadio and go up against the Sony Ericsson R300 mobile phone, according to the site.

All three handsets are expected in the next couple of months.
