Comes with Music?

The question on all the current fans of the XpressMusic 5800 is whether the N97 will also come with the amazing 'Comes with music' service from Nokia. The idea is that any phone that offers the service will basically give you access to millions of tracks of international and local artists via the Nokia online store which the user can keep for free! Amazing.. huh?? The period for which you can download the music for free lasts a year. The official lowdown from the Nokia is here. If you have any updates, leave them in the comments section. With a boatload of storage at hand N97 users will have their ears ringing to sweeeeeeet music :)

Now how would artists and labels possibly earn any amount of money from the content that Nokia plans to give away? The deals seem to be hush hush and has almost everyone amazed. Probably the fee for the service would be included in making the pricing decision for the device. Even engadget has been wondering

Setting up the service on the other hand seems to be pretty straightforward as Dean Pattrick from the Nokia music team shows in this step by step video

No, There is no track limit as per the official Nokia communication. Yes, it is too good to be true

Nokia phones generally have a low volume when we attach earphones...i hope this phone takes care of that.Music lovers will otherwise always go for stand alone devices..i love my ipod anyway!
