The media phone is Nokia's most advanced to support the unlimited subscription service and, with 32GB of internal storage, could theoretically download and keep about 7,000 songs without paying extra beyond the price of the Comes with Music phone itself. The phone can as always either buy tracks through Nokia or sync with a M... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/26/nokia.x6.available.with.unlimited.music/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:25:00 GMT Nokia's Comes With Music at just 107,227 users http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/16/nokia.cwm.service.has.poor.uptake/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/nokia5800xpressmusic-cwmsm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />New figures provided to music labels show Nokia's Comes With Music unlimited music service has had a relatively poor uptake despite having a year to expand. Data from July obtained by Music Ally shows just 107,227 active users worldwide for the service, which lets buyers of specially-labeled phones get a year's worth of unlimited music downloads they can keep after the subscription ends. The new... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/16/nokia.cwm.service.has.poor.uptake/ Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:45:00 GMT Nokia delays Comes With Music for US http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/nokia.cwm.delayed.in.us/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/nokia5800xpressmusic-cwm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia late yesterday revealed through a spokeswoman that the company will delay the launch of its Comes With Music unlimited subscription service in the US. Once on tap for 2009, the launch has now been postponed until sometime in 2010. No reason has been given for the delay, which comes almost a year after the initial promise of a later release.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/nokia.cwm.delayed.in.us/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:45:00 GMT RIM to launch own online music service http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/13/rim.music.service.coming/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/blackberrytour.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />BlackBerry handset maker Research in Motion (RIM) will reportedly launch an online music download service for BlackBerries in order to compete with competitors Apple and Nokia. The application will be a result of a partnership with a UK-based music website, 7Digital and, according to 7Digital's marketing manager Peter Davis, will be free to download. In a unique approach, the quality will change d... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/13/rim.music.service.coming/ Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:00:00 GMT Nokia Comes With Music to go MP3 by 2010? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/18/nokia.cwm.mp3.by.2010/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/nokia5800xpressmusic-cwm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A rumor early on Thursday suggests that Nokia could remove copy protection from all its music services within the next year. Claimed sources for ME say the smartphone maker will switch its pay-per-download store from locking songs with Windows Media protection to unguarded MP3s by late this year. Tellingly, Comes With Music would also reportedly make the switch and would do so sometime in 2010, ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/18/nokia.cwm.mp3.by.2010/ Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:20:00 GMT Nokia 5800 Comes With Music reaches UK http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/13/nokia.5800.cwm.in.uk/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/nokia5800xpressmusic-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia today launched a Comes with Music edition of the 5800 XpressMusic in Britain. The addition is exclusive to Orange UK and comes in a unique black-and-silver trim. Improving on the special-run 5800 available elsewhere, the touchscreen phone now gets a two-year subscription to Nokia's unlimited, copy-protected music service. It continues to let buyers keep their downloaded tracks whenever th... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/13/nokia.5800.cwm.in.uk/ Wed, 13 May 2009 21:10:00 GMT Nokia pins poor Comes With Music uptake on devices http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/29/nokia.on.cwm.reaction/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/nokia5310xpressmusic-cwm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia today defended the poor reception to its Comes With Music service in the UK by claiming that the launch failed primarily due to a weak device lineup. Music VP Rob Taylor argues that Nokia is "happy" with its performance in the country but has promptly said that the two phones available with the unlimited music service, the 5310 XpressMusic and N95 8GB, were too old and not enough to draw su... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/29/nokia.on.cwm.reaction/ Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:20:00 GMT Nokia's Comes With Music a "big disappointment" http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/22/nokia.cwm.disappointment/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/nokia5310xpressmusic-cwm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia's Comes With Music unlimited download service has performed well short of expectations, analysis by UK research group Music Ally says. The firm estimates that only 23,000 people have bought the special phones equipped with 1 year of music service and says the number is exceptionally low given the amount of advertising. The UK was the first country to adopt the service and is considered a p... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/22/nokia.cwm.disappointment/ Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:15:00 GMT Nokia ships 19% fewer phones, loses share in Q1 http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/nokia.q1.2009.results/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/nokia5800xpressmusic-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia this morning reported major falls in both its financial performance and its phone market share for the quarter. The Finnish cellphone maker's operating profit has dropped from slightly over $2 billion in early 2008 to just $72.4 million in early 2009 based on a significant decrease in sales income, which dropped by 27 percent year-over-year. Much of this is attributed directly to a 19.3 pe... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/nokia.q1.2009.results/ Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:25:00 GMT New Nokia music phone to launch on Wednesday? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/09/nokia.event.on.wednesday/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/nokiamusiceventintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia is teasing the public with an advertisement for an event this Wednesday, March 11th, that would possibly see the release of a music phone, with many thinking it could be yet another handset compatible with the company's Comes With Music service. If so, this would be the third such phone, adding to the current 5800 XpressMusic and 5630 XpressMusic, the latter launched less than a month ago.
