um u go to music and launch the store, and purchase, and play it in the player. you can also move mp3s onto it via the acc card from your computer if your computer can read the card (through a shell sd slot adapter is best bet)

Ha Ha... $3 per song. What a ripoff. I laugh at anyone who willingly pays this much to load their phone with music.

In the US, the major cell phone companies offer various pricing strategies. A lot of them have a subscription service plus a fee per song ranging from $1 to $2.

One of the companies has a good strategy whereby the fee to download the music directly to your phone is drastically more than the fee to download it to your computer first then transfer it to your phone.

This way, you can build up a library at a reasonable price but also have access to new music for immediate gratification if you are willing to spend the extra dollars.

$3 per download plus applicable Mobile BrowserTM charges(2)

(2 also known as the small print) Pay per use charges, if you do not have the Mobile Browser bundle, are $0.05 per KB. Approximate size of tracks are 1MB (1000KB x $0.05 = $50).

Therefore, it will cost on average $53* per song!!! Ha ha ha... ridiculous

* Now my fine print. You can get unlimited mobile browser bundle for only $5 more per month but that doesn't sound as goofy as $53 downloads so I put it in the fine print.
