If I remember correctly there was a whole debacle in Korea between the music companies and the phone manufacturers about the mp3 playback quality. There was concern that if the playback was not restricted to 64 kbs consumers might increase their mp3 consumption. Is the DRM they want to put into it mandatory or would you also be able to port you own mp3s onto the phone?
