Who cares about DRM or not, the music is yours to keep forever and ever on your Nokia-device... And if you actually manage to fill up the memory with music, you save tens of thousands of dollars, compared to if you would buy the music to your iPhone through iTunes. ]]>Nov 26th 2009 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/Oh wow, you actually took those Microsoft "thousands of dollars of music" ads at face value?

The music is locked to the handset. You have to buy an additional CWM handset to transfer previously downloaded music. If you want to burn the music to CD you have to buy additional rights. ]]>Nov 26th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/
Your point being? It's locked to the handset / player, as it is on iphone / ipod, whatever. It's still all-you-can-eat free music basically: The price of the handset is on par with handsets that don't have the CWM type of functionality, so I'm still facepalming here until you give me a clue of what your point is. ]]>Nov 26th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/
You need to see the CWM as a free Premium membership on Spotify, without the buffering etc. Who cares if you can move them to another device. You listen to music on your phone. I guess you've heard of the iPhone. I've heard that you can use it to listen to music.

Oh, and iTunes is DRM-free so there is no device lock-in. But why do YOU keep bringing up iTunes / Apple / iPhone / iPod? I personally have a Rhapsody account. But why should I bother trying to be rational when it's so easy to taunt from behind your anonymity?]]>Nov 26th 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/
Just so that every Nokia hater on Engadget knows; you can actually listen to the CWM tracks on your computer as well! You just have to use their music player which is synced with their music store exactly in the same manner as iTunes on the mac.]]>Nov 26th 2009 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/
Look, it's NOT about Nokia, it's about DRM. It's NOT about Apple, it's about DRM:

Maybe in your world it boils down to us vs. them. Not ours. In our world it's good vs. mediocre, great vs. shit.

Well technically it's not your music. Just think of it as an spotify premium account that you actually haven't really paid anything for (except give or take 50-100e but that's peanuts, less than 1 year subscription on Spotify). It's worth the money.

And when I get another phone a few years later, the way we consume music has probably changed and there is some other services in store for us. Maybe it's Spotify, maybe something else. What is clear is that the traditional models of iTunes etc. won't cut it. So it's quite ridiculous in this day and time to "own" music, unless it really is in a physical format such as CD or Vinyl.

Why yes, Aziz, it does look familiar. In fact it looks JUST like the Nokia Maps icon, arguably the world's most widely used mobile navigation program.

All this comes from the very lips of an high ranking Nokia Denmark employee with whom I talked during the last edition of "N97 academy" at Nokia's Copenhagen headquarters about a month ago.
By the way, the N97 after 3 new ROMs in 6 months and a gazillion of updates and firmwares, and after the free hardware fixes offered by Nokia has been transformed from toad to prince.
So much so that even though I just got my new HTC HD2 (preordered when the N97 sucked) I keep on using the N97 as my primary phone.
I know it is hard to belive,but my N97 came back from Nokia repair shop with the excellent 2.0 ROM, ar free subscription to the last (beautiful) version of Ovi maps (worth more than 100$ and curtesy of Nokia DK), and lots more of available RAM and phone memory (achieved by some software vodoo I guess).
Now I love this N97 nearly as much as I hated it when I first got it 6 months ago.
If I knew how well Nokia would have patched it up I would never have bought this (admitedly fab) HTC HD2.

Even thought, the N900 is a very promising device, it's not for the mainstream. Nokia is aware of this and that's reflected on how they marketed it and in the way they released it. Nokia will need a couple more iterations of Maemo-enabled devices before we see one "ready for primetime".

As for the N97, glad that Nokia did a good job fixing it but sad that people have to go through this unnecessary shenanigan in order to have a good working phone.]]>Nov 26th 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/Nov 26th 2009 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/

Small screen?

Anything bigger than that would be harder to carry in a pocket and to use with one hand.
You can't have portability and a big screen.

3.5" is probably the maximum while still comfortable enough. Then again the iPhone at 3.5" is already too wide...]]>Nov 26th 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/Nov 26th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/nokia-x6-comes-with-music-and-capacitive-touchscreen-shipping-n/Nov 26th 2009 12:51PM
