Nokia's N96 Comes With Music edition up for pre-order

First came the 5310 XpressMusic, then came word of a CWM-equipped N95. Now, we're feasting our eyes on a Comes With Music N96, freshly for sale on Nokia's UK website. The device seems unchanged outside of its newfound support for Nokia's all-you-can-devour music service, and the 16GB of internal memory should keep the sine waves flowin' for a good while. £540 ($799) gets you the handset, a stereo headset (wired), a few chargers and one year of free access to upwards of two million songs which are yours to keep forever after downloading. Expect shipments to begin in January 2009.

I have to imagine that listening to sine waves would get rather boring after a while.

I don't see the point in the comes with music service if you have to buy a new handset after 12 months to carry on with the service.

You can move your music collection to your next device, as well as use it on your PC. Whatever you have downloaded in the first year (unlimited), you can keep forever, without buying a new device.
