.. Sorry to be the bad person in your story, but i cannot believe that a phone sounds better then a dedicated music player.

Probably it is just like the Sony Walkman phones, the first time you hear it, it sounds great with a 'overwhelming' sound quality, but when you go back to your real DAP you just know that it cant beat the real thing.

.. i had the same with my Sony M600i. (W950 with full QWERTY keypad)

Oh you should believe it. It sounds pretty good, almost as good as my H320.

The N95, shocked me. i had a listen, with my EX85's, and man was it good. a little lacking in Bass, as the Thread poster mentioned, but other than that, extremely good, on par with my Sony NW-A3000, just less of an warm sound, more accurate.

And most phones do sound extremely good, all the Walkman phones i've ever heard have really good sound quality, and again on par with my Sony NW-A3000.

Seriously, if Samsung make MP3 Players, why wouldn't the same sound chips go in their phones ? Same for Sony Erricsson. Nokia probably have access to the same stuff, its not ground breaking.

if there was a 30gb Phone i wouldn't bother with a dedicated MP3 Player.

Well its not the best player on the market or anything but i think its pretty decent...when i posted i was a little over excited...but my point is its decent. when the june firmware comes out it should sound a little better

Because if you had a Samsung phone that was a great mp3 player, you might not buy a separate mp3 player. And in that case, Samsung would be losing a potential customer for their mp3 players. Same for Sony/SE.

Isn't there a Motorola phone that uses iTunes? And IIRC, that version of iTunes is limited to only 300 songs or so, maybe less. Why? Because if there was a phone that had a fully-functioning iTunes, Apple could be losing customers of its iPods to Motorola. Apple want new customers to go "Wow, this iTunes thing is amazing! I'm going to buy a 30GB iPod right now!"

Maybe I'm just cynical.

Its the Motorola ROKR (white Moto E398 with iTunes), i have that one too (the tmobile-E398 with ROKR firmware, so 100% the same except for black casing). (btw, that 100 song limit can be disbled with h4xxed firmware)

To be honest, that Motorola beats the crap out of all sony's walkman phones i've heard + my m600i when it comes to SQ. A lot better then the $5.- mp3 player i had at that moment.

BTW, the Motorola ROKR\E398 has the LOUDEST speaker of all phones on the (US + european) market. With custom gaintables it is MAD LOUD i tell ya.
