3 UK will not be offering the new i-phone challenger from Nokia (N81) as it comes pre-loaded with Nokia's own music store software which the Finnish maker has refused to remove.

3 UK has confirmed it will not stock this device and Orange may follow suit as they claim it could affect their own music store revenues.

This decision may also affect the new 8GB version of the upgraded N95 which Nokia will also offer with Nokia Music Store pre-loaded.
