Whole idea of 'comes with music' is that you pay the 12 months subscription in the phone price. 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.
I just wonder if people are really going to pay for that extra subscription fee when buying 'comes with music' phone....
