I'm thinking about keeping the D2 for use abroad, in the car/bed etc. - and now i'm using my portable rig less, just using the phone. I still like to shuffle through my own collection as a whole though, and not swap music on the device much. I could still use Last.fm Mobbler for listening to other stuff though. Mobbler has improved ALOT in the latest update, but it's still not quite what I want. Could I stream via 3G from my home pc? Or could I upload my collection onto a web server and stream from it? What applications could do this? I like mobbler, but it's not got my whole collection on there (lots of other stuff though!) and it is hard to find something to listen to. I tune in to an artists radio, typing the name in, and it comes up with other stuff too Will Spotify do what I want? Maybe it is closer to what I want than Last.fm? They have a mobile client coming I have heard, how long, and how suited to what I want idk. An application that allowed me to stream music I uploaded to their servers would be brilliant, but I don't think anything like it exists? Orb sort of has it right... I run the app on my laptop (has to be on 24/7 though) and go to the browser on my phone, and pick what I want, and play/download. I can play all the tracks, and they stream in RealPlayer, but can't skip tracks etc. and no albu art. If they coupled it with a good application, it would be perfect. I'll keep it for streaming vids to the E61 when i'm downstairs etc. though. Anything? Or should I just carry both the E71 (when I get one!) and the D2 and SD's and be done with it? |

It's not as bad as I'm making it sound.. it just sounds a little veiled and less resolving than the 3G (which I found a stellar performer.. hence why I'm going to move to the 3GS as a no-brainer). It's really great for a phone, but it lives in the 3G's shadow sonically speaking. More pointedly, it's pretty warm, like the N85. The sound signature is laid-back and not too aggressive.. not a lot of energy going on throughout the spectrum. Definitely not too cold or analytical. Sounds great with jazz, I must say. Right now I'm using it for the gym with a pair of iM716s so it'll do just fine. The rest of the features are pretty slick.. though I do prefer mobile OSX Cocoa Touch over Symbian S60v5 for ease of use. |
