Nokia tonight signed on Warner Music Group to its Comes With Music unlimited subscription service, joining founding partner Universal and recent entrant Sony BMG in offering its back catalog. The deal lets users buy phones with a Comes With Music premium attached and download an unlimited amount of Warner's music (or of any other label) for a year; all tracks downloaded during that time are the user's to keep, addressing a common complaint regarding most subscription plans.

Carphone Warehouse's name irritates me. Do they sell carphones? Cause all I hear about them selling is regular mobile phones. Shouldn't they be Cellphone Warehouse or something? Sorry for off topic...

they've been around long enough and probably did sell carphones at one time.

In Europe they're just called "The Phone House"
