Nokia picks up EMI for their “Comes With Music” offer

Nokia Comes With Music

Nokia’s “Comes With Music” offer sounds real nice up front, but it does have its limits, most notably the DRM, which a lot of current services seem to be moving away from. The service was originally announced last December and is still expected to launch in mid-2008, but an official date has not been announced.

Joining Universal, EMI has just jumped on board as the second major label. So now with two major labels on board the service seems to be shaping up, but there is another key item that still needs some clarification, the “Comes With Music” service is reported to be paying $80 per handset per year for the unlimited download account. The details that we need, and most likely will make or break the deal will be whether or not Nokia plans on adding that $80 onto the cost of the device or if it will be built-in to the current cost.
