Nokia set to open Comes with Music buffet
So far, no mobile phone company has been able to make subscribers dance to its tune with a wildly popular, downloadable-to-handset music service. Yet Nokia, the world's biggest maker of mobile phones, still wants in on the action, so it's announcing that the first handset preloaded with its Comes with Music service will be sold in the United Kingdom in October.
The subscription-based service is already making news in the tech press and analyst community with one big difference: Once a year passes and your Comes with Music membership comes to an end, you'll still be able to keep all the tracks you downloaded.
After England starts swinging with Comes with Music - via Carphone Warehouse, the country's largest phone retailer - Nokia says the rest of Europe and Asia will get their chance at the service. That's likely to happen sometime next year.
