On the face of it, it looks like a good deal however once the required quota of subscribers is achieved there is nothing stopping this service from being a paid service whether subscription or other. Then it's a question of value thereafter. Moving your music from one device to another. Oh yeah one phone your Nokia and one computer. How many people out there have a single device. Not many. Most have iPods, a laptop a desk top etc. All of a sudden not such a flexible service. Finally give the music industry traction I don't think so. Right now my music is cheaper than it has ever been. The music industry wants a real competitor to a leading music service ( iTunes). As a consumer I know who I want to shop with in the long run and its not Nokia or Amazon. To do so would allow an industry which has significantly exploited consumers regain traction and quite frankly I hope that doesn't happen. Thanks Nokia but I think no thanks!
