Sprint to offer $0.99 music downloads via phone

AppleInsider is reporting that Sprint is about to offer $0.99 music downloads that can be accessed directly from their upcoming "Upstage" phone. The $149US phone will require a 2 year contract and feature access to the company's over-the-air Sprint Music Store.

This is something that I dearly wish the iPhone - and even more so a future iPod - could do. Imagine sitting in Starbucks and downloading music directly to your iPhone/iPod. No video, of course, but it would be fun to grab a song just when you think of it. Now Sprint is going to beat them to it, and with a phone called "Upstage."
