Sony Ericsson's M-BUZZ will offer music downloads
Update: I got confirmation on the high price. In Swedish press I read that due to the lack of an operator setup, individual songs will cost approx 40 SEK / $6. Ouch!
Only a few phones will support this service initially (W850 and W950; why only them?), but it's likely to support many more phones later, and potentially also from other brands.
What doesn't "compute" is who will pay the downloading cost. If no operator endorses this, they will charge full price for the download, which might be more expensive than the price of the downloaded song.
Also Nokia has similar plans.
