I think this became the Nokia With Music service. From what I've heard in the industry the deal was a very bad one and Nokia will pay a fortune to the labels in the 2nd year of the deal. Apparently, everyone who was part of signing the deal are no longer working for Nokia.......

Competition is good for consumers and i think this is the good step and it will provide some excellent services for users.

I imagine at all those Nokia phones will now have a new wallpaper: the HourGlass.

Oh- and for good measure, the screensaver will be a BlueScreen of Death!

Iâ€™m really looking forward to the next 12-18 months as Iâ€™m starting to sense that the mobile web is on the verge of really exploding into the mass market in the UK.

I am still waiting for admin's post that would speak about the new Gphone remour. My post on "Gphone specification and features", Just imagine if you have a phone released like that...

Personally, I never get a phone that I can't "hack" in some way to get all the music on it that I want. I got tired of buying expensive phones only to pay even more to get the music on there that I wanted. Screw that!

@Technojuice

I thought the same exactly: what an unlikely combination. I guess it just shows that the perception of Microsoft in the industry is better than among the general public / among geeks.

I think it's a good approach, but I agree they will be no compeition to iTunes. Apple have already dominated that market. Although it would be nice to see if Microsoft have anything up their sleeve to compete.

This could be the start of more mobile services. It's definitely a step in the right direction.

What about DRM? Will it be DRM free music ? I'm guessing not.

And what about the data bandwidth charges of downloading the music direct to you phone.

With a PC, I purchase the music, put it on my PC (downloaded over my existing high speed at no extra $, and then put it on my phone.

While bypassing the PC may have it's advantage, the transfer cost over the phone has to be free (or cheap like SMS). Otherwise, I'd continue to do it on my PC

..Unless the phone includes WiFi of course.

In terms of mobile IM I don't think it will take off (in the UK) and seriously challenge SMS until the networks get real about data charges. Young people are the highest users of SMS, which is perceived to be cheap so they don't even think about the charges, so they won't switch to IM

I wonder what impact this will have on the smartphone OS wars? Will we see Nokia using Windows Mobile or will it make Symbian work with Microsoft?

With regards to services to unlock the demand, could mobile Instant messaging take over from "Texting"?
