i assume like the N-Gage and 3300 you have to remove the back and the battery to swap cards.
you are wrong there. memory card slot is located on the side of the phone, so you do not have to touch battery at all in order to change cards.
but yeah, i agree this err 'phone' is ugly as sin.
Well, in Russian "baud" is spelled as "bod" (with cyrillic letters of course). All Latin alphabet based languages seem to have it as "baud" or a similar form (the ones I checked are German, Finnish, Swedish, Italian, French).
LONDON -- Aug. 14, 2003 -- On Demand Distribution (OD2), a leading digital music company, and Microsoft Corp. today announced that OD2 has launched a new version of its music platform using Microsoft(R) Windows Media(R) Player 9 Series. The OD2 platform enables the MSN(R) Music Club and Tiscali Music Club music stores to give consumers across Europe the ability to download individual tracks starting from 0.99 (0.75) from all five major labels and leading independents. OD2's digital music catalogue offers more than 200,000 tracks by 8,500 artists, which are now available for download without subscription. The new range of services from MSN Music Club and the Tiscali Music Club also will be accessible to consumers in Europe through the Premium Services tab of Windows Media Player 9 Series.
The MSN Music Club service will be available in English, French, and German from today, and can be accessed from the Premium Service Tab of the Media Player. The Tiscali Music Club is operational in United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Belgium. Both services are based on a simple pay-as-you-go model, enabling music fans to download individual songs starting from just 0.75 (0.99) per track, or 7.99 (12.49) per album. Those preferring to use a subscription-based service from MSN or Tiscali will be rewarded with even cheaper costs per track -- from as low as 0.62 (0.82).
Charles Grimsdale, CEO of OD2, said, "These new services represent the second generation of online music stores in Europe. Consumers can now access a vast library of legitimate digital music, and download and keep the music they buy without needing to commit to a monthly subscription. Both these services let users discover, download and manage their music collections through Windows Media Player 9 Series."
"For the first time, millions of music fans across Europe will be able to buy individual tracks from all five major music labels through the OD2 music platform," said Jonathan Usher, director, Windows Digital Media Division, Microsoft Corp. "With MSN Music Club and Tiscali Music Club offerings easily accessible through Windows Media Player 9 Series, consumers can seamlessly search, browse, download, organise and play tracks as well as take their music with them on more than 50 types of portable music devices, or burn copies onto CD."
OD2's catalogue includes many French, German, Italian and Spanish artists as well as strong representation from the United Kingdom and United States. Individual songs and whole albums will be available from superstar artists including Eminem, Christina Aguilera, Kylie, Ms. Dynamite and David Gray. All recordings are encoded using Windows Media 9 Series, protected by Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology.
Both the MSN Music Club and Tiscali Music Club services will allow music fans to take advantage of a growing range of new releases made available online the same day they are released to radio broadcasters, which is often a full six weeks before they are available on CD in conventional stores.
Making music downloads available directly through the media player allows service providers to easily reach the huge base of more than 50 million Windows Media Player 9 Series users. Music content delivered using Windows Media 9 Series takes up only half the storage space of MP3, meaning that consumers can fit even more music onto their PCs, portable devices or CDs. New users can download the Windows Media Player 9 Series from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/defau lt.asp.

Give a read to Naomi Klein's No Logo. She explains there why Walmart (as well as a dozen of other mega corporations) is evil.
