Just like in the regular iTunes store you can use your iPhone to buy music. Do do this you will have to setup your existing iTunes music store account on the iPhone. After that you can browse through albums and songs. Like other music store purchases each songs costs 99 cents. Before you buy Apple allows you to listen to 30 seconds of the song to make sure it is the song you want to pay for.

After you have bought the music on the iPhone itself you can synch the music files back to your computer and they are available in iTunes.

The only big complaint I have is that I cannot imagine downloading music over a crappy and slow 2G Internet connection on a phone. This will take forever, I’m telling you!

Apart from the network speed connection the build in speakers sound rather rickety and loud, so it is no fun sharing your music with your friends through the iPhone.
