Yes, I have the same opinion as you.. It’s just another “misterious” service by Nokia.. it’s like PC Suite, there already are so many, I don’t even know which one to pick up. lol

Rick Rocks! In his own, irritating little way. And yeah, it’s the modern equivalent that I’d feel destroyed if I’d paid £13.99 for (yes, that much for a new CD in the UK!) Hang on, 1 X Comes with Music device or 10 X CDs. Mmmmm

@ Ricky – I totally agree. They should have Catchy 1 Liners. I kinda like the Eat-all-you-can

@ Fanboy – I guess DRM here means that there is no scoop for Mac users.

@ James – Why CWM is not clicking because the Tube aka 5800 is still missing. People’s percption has associated Tube with the CWM during the remix event earlier this year.

I give you my word, when Tube hits the market, your CWM will see an enormous rise in sales too.

It’s as simple as associating Starbucks with coffee as Pizza Hut with pizzas and 5800 with CWN.

So, next time when you guys announce a service make sure everything is available right from the word you say go OR ELSE the Euphoric Placebo generated sales die down. When remix the event took place i would have got myself the tube then and there if it were available…

i hope im not complicating things here…

what say?

As I see it, it’s not about getting-older taste, but rather about remembering selectively only the good stuff and forgetting the crap. Or were you seriously into this stuff?

Being in the United States, I’ve not seen a single lick of the advertising you guys are talking about, but I *do* agree with you that, for most consumers, CWM is going to be killer. There’s alot of hooing and hawing online about the DRM and whatnot, but I don’t think those pundits realize that it’s not targeted towards them. They’re likely pirating all their music anyways.

James, I agree, the main advantage is all-you-can-eat music for one year – and you can keep it after.

This message was in the press releases before, but doesn’t seem to be in the start-up marketing.

Maybe a separate message could be directed to people who like to pick this and that (goes well with all-you-can-eat, all inclusive dinner message).

Nokia has very creative ideas (loved Legend’s Telegraph, Unloader etc.), but seems to struggle with getting through a simple, one-sentence message.

What you have described James, could be applied to almost any new service of Nokia. Very good functionality/value (with very little exception), which the marketing does not push forward.
