A special version of Sony Ericsson W902 Walkman phone will come with 1000 songs pre-loaded, though here’s where it gets a little odd. Though the tracks are said to be DRM-free, after the first six months, the user will only get to keep the top 100 listened-to songs. Makes me wonder what quality songs they’ll be pre-loading there. If it’s all ABBA, I might have to pass.
