Nokia Music Store Images

More Nokia reviews , RRP: Free

The good:

  • Great selection of music
  • Easy, intuitive navigation
  • Option to stream music instead of buying it

The bad:

  • Restrictive compatibility
  • Identical pricing to iTunes
  • Poorly built-in media management

The bottomline:

In the face of the iTunes juggernaut, the Nokia Music Store will struggle. Being able to access the store from your handset is handy, and the streaming jukebox option will appeal to some; however, the fact that many people won't be able to access the store is bound to hurt its chances.
