People can't seem to go without some kind of MUSIC service for more than 125 consecutive seconds these days. I mean, really, Nokia now? iTunes, Zune, Amazon, Wal*Mart, Napster, and so on and so on and so on... the last thing anyone on Earth needs is another way to buy music.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Nokia needs to bring a lot of things to the US; there isn't one high-end Nokia phone that you can get subsidized directly from a major carrier, and along with that n-gage service is limited as well, maybe they couldn't get over their failed n-gage phone but the success of the iphone in gaming could have been theirs]]>Apr 22nd 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
The only other successful one would be the iphone, but that was because it existed for the ipods long before the phone came around.

If I want music on my phone, i'll just slap it onto my storage card.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/

So it's a failure because it's not actually on any Nokia handsets that are selling just now, you know like the 5800 (which for some reason you show in your picture despite it not actually having a UK CWM version) which has shifted 3 million units? OK.

Honestly, I'm starting tho think that Americans should be banned from writing about Nokia.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
That makes it tragic.

Fire the marketeers. NOW!]]>Apr 22nd 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
All of them.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
There's meant to be a 5800 Comes With Music but I don't believe that's made it to the UK yet. Can't help but feel that Nokia have done the maths on the service and what it would cost them if you could legally get all the music you wanted for a year for the cost of an £80 PAYG handset and decided limiting the numbers would be a good idea.]]>Apr 23rd 2009 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/on topic, this service for music moto is not going to fly. I agree about having music and videos on your microsdhc card and that's that. Peace out.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/It's lame.

We need good things, like the new Sidekick w/ a good advertising scheme so it wont fail like the others.
T-Mo wonder why the SK never sold well over here, when I had my SK2 and SK3 and got them out to send a text on a bus or something I usually got people my age like "WOW! You can get those in the UK?" why? Because T-Mo UK suck at advertising, apart from the G1.

Anyway. Yeah, UK needs good new phones, not tat like the N95 with like, 5 or 10 free songs which are DRM riddled.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
We already have plenty of 'good new phones', haven't you noticed that practically every new western phone that is released ends up here...]]>Apr 22nd 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
You are so on the nail with this. Talk about giving it a name that screams after-thought. At least show some degree of creativity and pretend as though it is a core part of your content strategy.

God, I want to love Nokia, but they are doing everything in their power to keep with this friggin' iPhone

Nokia - comes with phone reception.

Common guys - get your shit together!!!!!]]>Apr 22nd 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/

sue them for false advertising

gotta love this shit!]]>Apr 22nd 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
If they dropped the stupid handset exclusivity and made it more accessible, even to existing customers, it'd do much better.

As it stands, it's Nokia's own fault that the service is crap.]]>Apr 23rd 2009 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
They need to really shape it up, they are all over the place. They kill themselves with to many handsets at once, and then lack support for the existing handsets.

The app store is horrible , and i can't imagine OVI will be any better.

They need an apple like app store if they want to compete with apple. Who needs music from nokia? why start a music service, wtf is wrong with them]]>Apr 22nd 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/Apr 22nd 2009 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
They have pretty good ads too. You see the phone, and then they list all these track names that make up the text of the ad.

E.g.

Hurry
Don't wait
Unlimited
Music
Forever

That sort of thing. If I wasn't waiting for an n97 I'd be all over it.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
And Comes with music sadly isn't available in France...]]>Apr 23rd 2009 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
I'd be surprised if some people weren't misled about the availability of the service with the 5800.]]>Apr 23rd 2009 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/report-nokias-comes-with-music-not-selling-very-well-in-the-uk/
