This I like, downloading individual tracks directly to a mobile phone, and hopefully directly to the memory card.

I read individual tracks are only .89 cents!!!

I am so, so, so curious as to what sort of speeds Tmo's 3G network is putting out. I wish somebody would use Opera Mini and go to Cnet Bandwidth Test site and give it a go, but then again, how many people out there actually have a Tmo 3G handset as of now??????
