Best MP3 music phone?   1 comment

Posted at 9:01 pm in Cell Phones & Plans


I’m currently considering a phone upgrade to something with a large internal memory, an MP3 player and 3G for picking up email and possibly my google webmail. GPS and a good internal camera wouldn’t go amiss either.

At first, I was pretty taken by the iPhone 3G, but couldn’t justify the cost, not to mention that I find Apple’s proprietary attitude and aggressive marketing increasingly distasteful. I am quite a fan of the iTunes software, mind you, and to continue using it does hold some appeal.

Now I’ve discovered I can renew my contract and get a Samsung Omnia off my provider for free, and they’re introducing the Nokia N96 soon, which I should be able to get at a very small cost.

The phone nerds don’t like the Windows skeleton below the pretty skin of the Omnia, and I know that Windows Mobile isn’t the best performer for audio. I know precious little about the N96, except that it would probably do all the things I want.

Any suggestions?
