Just a bit of disappointment here. If you buy a Nokia from the Nokia store and they’ll give you £20 worth of music vouchers to use at CD-WOW.

I’m just disappointed that you buy a new fancy Nokia Music phone — then you get £20 vouchers to spend on old technology compact discs containing music tracks, that you then have to rip to your computer (so you need to go and buy a £500 computer first) and then transfer via a sodding cable to your fancy handset.

Shame there’s no Nokia OTA iTunes equivalent that’s worth a look.

  • but presuming you’ve already got access to a PC, you’ll get more tracks with £20 of CD-wow vouchers than if you’d been given £20 of itunes credit?

  • Can you not use the vouchers for downloads on CD-WOW though? They have a WOW Tunes section.

  • Conceivably yeah — I just mean it’s a shame there isn’t a direct-to-phone iTunes style of service. Dream on Ewan……….
