Do you want an Mp3 player in your phone?
by Kelly
I was listening to Gadgettes today and they were talking about cell phones.
Now, I’m not a fancy phone gal. I carry a very simple cell phone - and I am home most of the time so I don’t even use it very much right now.
I was caught by their discussion about whether people want an mp3 player in their phones. I have to say that I would like it if my phone had an easy USB connection and let me upload mp3 files easy. I’m all about simple so I’d like not having to have two gadgets if I could just have one.
What are your thoughts?

I had a phone with an mp3 player and it was great, had a 1gb memory card, not huge but enough for a few podcasts. had a great little video camera as well. Unfortunately there was an incident with a dodgy liquidizer and a milkshake ! only about 2 weeks after I got the phone and before you ask NO it wasn’t insured !! anway that was the end of my combined phone and mp3 it was good while it lasted probably cos I knew no different, I’d never had an mp3 player before, but actually now that I’ve got separate mp3 and phone I prefer it !!

I’m of the mindset that I just want my phone to be a phone. I don’t mind having extra gadgets with me because what if the phone breaks? I’m sure backups of the mp3s are somewhere - but embarrassingly enough, I never figured out how to get the pictures off of my phone. So when it broke a few weeks ago, it took about 20 pictures with it.
(Of course, I probably could have emailed them to myself LOL)

I had this same conversation with my brother a while back when I was deciding to go with a TREO or just a basic phone. I finally decided against it exactly for the reasons Tsoniki mentioned. When one thing breaks, it all breaks.
I’ve had enough heartache with my all-in-one printers to transfer over to the phone and phones cost more!
Just gimme a phone that just plain works.
