Yes, its still more than Apple offers, which is...um..."comes with iTunes"?<br>But I like the idea of buying a device with 1 year unlimited music downloads. I just wonder how much will this "comes with something" cost.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shinigami]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2008 7:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMG joins Universal on Nokia's (delayed) free Comes with Music service]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/bmg-joins-universal-on-nokias-delayed-comes-with-music-servic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/bmg-joins-universal-on-nokias-delayed-comes-with-music-servic/</guid><description><![CDATA[After the 12 months, you simply pay monthly to keep being able to download stuff via your subscription.

Universal alone is costing Nokia alone some 35€/12months. Add couple more record companies and you will have added price tag of 150€-200€ per each phone for that 12 months. And since Nokia uses that new M$ DRM, none of the songs are playable in mp3 players, iPods, Zune etc. since none of them support that DRM-version. <br><br>I just wonder if people are really going to pay for that extra subscription fee when buying 'comes with music' phone....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BFish]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2008 7:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMG joins Universal on Nokia's (delayed) free Comes with Music service]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/bmg-joins-universal-on-nokias-delayed-comes-with-music-servic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/bmg-joins-universal-on-nokias-delayed-comes-with-music-servic/</guid><description><![CDATA[We don't like it because it's DRM-laden. While music will continue to work on your PC after 12 months, it will only work on Comes With Music devices after that period. That's a pretty serious restriction. Hell, we don't even know what these devices will look like yet. <br><br>For the record, we don't like iTunes or any other DRM'd music store either.<br><br>Thomas]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thomas Ricker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2008 7:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BMG joins Universal on Nokia's (delayed) free Comes with Music service]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/bmg-joins-universal-on-nokias-delayed-comes-with-music-servic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/bmg-joins-universal-on-nokias-delayed-comes-with-music-servic/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you're expecting DRM-free subscription models, you might we in for a long wait.<br><br>I despise DRM for pay-per-track downloads, but for subscription services (and that's CWM is, in the end), there's just no way the major labels will allow DRM-less versions anytime soon.
