Ditto. I agree with Gates that the Ipod won't last & that the phones
will eat it's lunch. I have a nokia 6230 which I got coz it has an MP3
player & an fm radio....

A mondo bizarro bit is that if you are listening to the radio or the mp3
player & someone calls you get the selected ringing tones....so if like
me you often set your phone to silent for meetings etc & then
"forget" to re-enable the ringer....then you are left wondering
what's going on coz the music/radio just suddenly goes....silent....



I had a look at the smart phones (Pocket pc, symbian etc) & was very
impressed but {at} the end of the day...I just wanted music + radio & a
nice neat (small) phone.

I like the way most of them now try wifi first for any net related things.

I reckon we're 2-3 years out from most people's "personal"
computer being the smartphone in their pocket.
