Waaaait a minute.. So I can in theory, buy a phone + external hard drive, download the entire catalog, cancel my subscription, and legally own every song I downloaded and transfer those to my iTunes? Something sounds fishy... but if nothing's fishy, i mean why not?
even though I don't really know for sure, I'm guessing that there will be a restriction that limits downloaded songs to staying on your phone's drive, or to only be played with the Nokia music software on the phone, or something similar... Either way, its a pretty useful service, yay Nokia!

Yeah it doesn't sound right. DRM is in play fo shur. But you might have a way around that. Not a bad deal for a ton of music.

Perhaps you can only download the music with your phone. Through your wireless carrier.
That would solidly bring this deal back out of the "too good to be true" stratosphere, and back down to earth.
