So much for a revolutionary service. When Nokia’s Comes with Music launches in the UK next month, it will not support over-the-air-downloads, reports Music Ally. The service which rolls out on the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 5310 XpressMusic phone is available on a pay-as-you-go contract through Carphone Warehouse, meaning users would rack up huge data charges downloading tracks. Nokia is getting around this by initially positioning the all-you-can eat music service as a PC-based one, with users sideloading tracks from their computers to their phones. But is it just the potentially high data charge that has put Nokia off OTA downloads? Apple’s (NSDQ: AAPL) 3G iPhone doesn’t allow for OTA tracks either—but this has been blamed on the music labels’ insistence that OTA tracks should cost more and Apple’s refusal to agree to this. Perhaps a deal allowing OTA downloads for CWM was too costly for Nokia, especially given the rumors that they are paying heavily to subsidize the service.
