Nokia’s “Comes With Music” offering enables users to download as many copy-protected songs as they like for a specified period of time after purchasing select Nokia mobiles. According to Forbes, a Nokia representative confirmed the promotion won’t roll out until next year, but did not offer any reason for the delay.

“Comes With Music” debuted in England in late 2008, and is now up to 10 countries, including Brazil and Singapore.  Forbes speculates that the delay in bringing the service to the U.S. “may indicate reception has been pretty lukewarm.”

“‘Comes With Music’ has been below expectations in developed markets, though Nokia is having more success in emerging markets,” said Forrester Research analyst Mark Mulligan in the Forbes article. “In Western Europe and specifically Great Britain, Nokia has been hindered by not having a strong operator route to market.”

Nokia also doesn’t command the cell phone market like in years past. According to Forbes, Nokia handsets only make up only about 7 percent of the U.S. market where Apple’s iPhone and Research In Motion’s Blackberry are the current buzz brands.

What’s more, other handset manufacturers are also planning similar music bundles for their mobiles, making “Comes With Music” not as special as it once sounded.
