Nokia's "Comes With Music" service not going over so well?

After initial reports that Nokia's "Comes With Music" subscription service was doing "decent" word on the streets is now... less nice. According to estimates released by Music Ally at an Association of Independent Music conference in London, Nokia's snagged about 23,000 subscribers to the service since it was started last October. That's not a signifigant number, if it's close to accurate... Nokia has "refused to confirm" whether or not it is or isn't. Tim Grimsditch, head of Nokia's product marketing division added that it's "a new business model, we're live in two markets and the numbers only mention eight. We're going to continue to create the model and fine tune how they market it." That being said, the report can't be terribly heartening no matter which way you interpret it, and it is rather reminiscent of N-Gage's niche market.
