I don't think a phone will replace my ipod anytime soon since it's a 2nd Generation ipod with upgraded battery that gives me 30+ hours of playback.. I charge it one a week and it handles all of my commutte. I got a lifedrive (big mistake) hoping that it could replace my laptop and use it to watch movies on the road but I have to send it in for repairs every 3 months or so.. If it was ll in one, I'd be stuck with backups of everything. not necessarily. If you have a backup multi-media phone then it's okay Tricks and Tricks for K800 File System Tweaks for K750

I surely can, but I don't want this to turn into a iTunes thread. Burhan Previous: 3300 > P910i > K750i > M600i, JASJAM > N80ie & N93 Current: P1i + N95-2

This works well, well enough that I even bought a SIM-free W300 as a backup device Really, I only miss three things from my iPod: I can't copy my iTunes playlists onto my phones. Everytime I change the music on the phone's memory card, I have to manually recreate the playlists (on the phone, there's no external way to do this). No way to control a phone from my car stereo. Car manufacturers, VW included (I have a 4th-gen Golf GTI and a New Beetle), offer factory iPod integration that provides power, sound, and control over a single wire. Aftermarket radios have had this for years. Using headphones with an HPM-70 or HPM-82 makes for a tangled mess of wires. The iPod had its own 3.5mm stereo minijack. (Give me a W810 with QVGA, 3G, GPS, and iTunes integration, and I would have the perfect all-in-one device )

Also, I hardly even use more than 2gigs for my songs, if I have more than that, i find myself putting boring songs on it, so its no use, and I don't know about you guys, but i'm addicted to bass, so until apple comes out with something better than sony's bass, I aint switching [ This Message was edited by: mobilemodman on 2007-04-20 05:20 ]
