I think people are much happier with free as in expression where you pays your cash and is free to do what you wants.

In an age where businesses talk about owning a customer relationship, I don't think that is what anybody has in mind.

It's one thing to be able to remember the tariff and model of handset your firm is launching, quite another to understand and communicate just exactly how everyone in the chain makes a decent bit of cash at the end of it all.

And AFAIK, it's not download to the handset, it's to the PC then sideloaded as a WMA file. So if any other device you own doesn't play WMA (like, er, the ones made by a company named after a bit of fruit) then you will have to do geeky burn/rip/faff stuff to actually enjoy your purchase on any other device…

Should it be “Comes with music (PC and home broadband connection required, plus faffing about)” ?
