I feel as though, of all the carriers, Cingular actually did this right. The key will be how they do the OTA downloads (which without OTA downloads, this is a colossal failure.) A 3MB song at $.01/kb would be $30. They're going to either have to FINALLY move away from PPU and bucket data and just go straight unlimited, or not charge users data for downloads, just charge for the download. Time will tell.
PS - Engadget, don't forget, the user manual for the N75 posted on the FCC yesterday states it'll be a Cingular Music Phone also.
