If you want to hear crap sound through garbage electronics, I'm sure this will appeal to you.

This is getting rather silly! A hard-drive in a cell phone!
Jeez!

Got my PDA? - Check.

Got my digital camera? - Check.

Got my Mp3 player? - Check.

So I'll save the battery in my cell phone for making phone calls.

What total garbage. How about giveing me a phone that works in a building 1st. Do that and MAYBE I'll think about getting one that takes crappy pictures.

So, you run around town listening to music on your cell phone, but then decide to make a phone call and find out the battery is dead.

My phone is for calls and that is it.

My old Motorola phone let me enter my own tunes for ring tones using the numeric pad. Unfortunately, my new BREW phone only allows getting ringtones through my provider's vendors, and they don't have the ring tones I want (in part because some of them are my own compositions, though others like Franz Behr's "Will O' The Wisp" are public domain but nonetheless seem unavailable).

BTW, I'm surprised phone vendors don't advertise their phones as music playing devices, even if the only "music" they play is somewhat tinny midi ringtones. Advertising their phones as such should allow tunes for such phones to be legally classified as phonorecords, which would in turn mean that any tune which has been sold in recorded form could be licensed for about 8 cents per copy without needing the composer's consent. Since some composers have refused to allow their music to be used as ringtones, such a classification could be a useful workaround.

How is it that a 4GB Nokia hard drive can store 3000 songs and a 4GB Apple iPod can only store 1250 songs?
