The Nokia X6 announcement earlier this year has come and gone, shrouded by mystery as to why none of the marketing material spoke of the capacitive touch screen. The main selling point instead was “Comes with Music”, which is nothing more than a 150 EUR tax you pay for your device in order to get 12 months of unlimited DRM laced downloads. A few of you may argue that it’s brilliant for people who purchase mobile phones on contract since that extra 150 EUR is consumed over the course of a 12, 18, or even 24 month period. That would be great, but the markets that currently have access to “Comes with Music” are predominantly places where people buy their mobile phones unlocked and unsubsidized. Nokia isn’t commenting as to how many “Comes with Music” customers they have, but if the leaked numbers Music Alley provided back in October are any indication of Nokia’s attempt to get people to purchase music again, then you’re looking at a massive failure. Product insulting aside, this video more than makes up for the X6′s shortcomings:
