There were reports doing the rounds last week that Universal Music was receiving $35 for every Comes With Music phone sold by Nokia (ie the Nokia phones that come with a year's access to the Universal Music catalogue). That was down from reports that circulated after the Comes With Music venture was first announced, those reports estimated that the major was receiving $80 per phone. Anyway, Nokia has said the $35 reports are not true. It's not clear whether that means the label is getting more or less than that amount. But for the time being we'll just have to continue guessing, neither the record company nor the phone firm seem keen to offer us any insight into their deal.
