Lost my trusty i-river recently. I have a lengthy daily commute on public transport so it got regular use, usually attatched to Sennheiser cans. I am looking at a Cowon J3 as a replacement. However, my wife who is generally practical and logical asked the question 'Do you really need to be carrying two devices' She has a point. I'm due a phone upgrade and for much less than the cost of a J3 can get a top of the range Smartphone and throw a large capacity SD card into it. The phones I'm considering are the Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Sensation & Sensation XE (with Beats, which may or may not be a gimmick). I don't generally like the fruit seller. The question is this, can I get halfway reasonable SQ from a smartphone or would the J3 be a better bet. I've rooted and upgraded my existing HTC Hero so would be capable of Rockboxing or something similar to a smartphone.
