A loose-lipped EMI representative revealed yesterday that they were in talks with Nokia about collaborating on their upcoming ‘Comes with Music’ plan, where handsets will be bundled with an unlimited music download plan.

If EMI signs on the bottom line, they’ll be joining Universal, who announced in December last year they would allow their artists’ tracks to be sold. EMI seems fairly confident they’ll be joining Nokia…

Coming in at a cool £1,500, Mobiado's Stealth mobile is fairly average

Dubbed ‘Stealth’, it’s created using the same materials as airplanes, just a single piece of aluminium. The specifications aren’t that astonishing as you’d expect with the price-tag, it seems with this model, exclusivity is what has pushed the price up: only 1,200 units will be sold.

Running on Symbian Series 40 technology, it’s got a 2.0-megapixel camera and 8x digital zoom, a QVGA 262,144 colour…
