N96 to get ‘Comes With Music’ treatment

Planet N96 suggested some time ago that the N96 would be perfect for the Nokia ‘Comes With Music’ service, and now it looks like the service may be offered with the handset.
Good news, as it would mean unlimited music downloads to help fill up the 16MB of memory on the N96.
Bad news though that this will not be retrospective, so existing N96 owners would not be entitled to use the service. We can see a lot of loyal Nokia N96 owners, the early adopters in particular, who are already somewhat upset by the poor initial firmware release, being really put out by this, and with some justification.
Also, it is not expected that these handsets will be available until after Christmas - and that can not be good for pre Christmas sales of the N96.
