I recall that video clips downloaded from my carrier's portal can't be copied and played elsewhere. Isn’t there already some DRM on Nokia phones?

You'll still be able to put whatever music you want on their devices. Choosing to support a particular DRM technology just opens the door to services that require it. It doesn't limit the phone. If you don't want to use the service that requires the DRM then don't. Just continue copying your media to the device as you always did. I hate DRM as much as the next guy, but I don't see it going away anytime soon, so I just avoid it where I can. Either way I don't see this as a negative move on Nokia's part.
