Please recommend me a phone that satisfies the following requirements:
1. Can play mp3's with GOOD music quality (read: as good as decent mp3 player)
2. Should be a slim/small phone that easily fits into my pocket
3. Good call quality
Optional (but nice):
1. Lots of internal (flash) memory on the phone; it seems like most phones are limited to 2gb microSD cards + < 100mb internal, but I'd love to be able to carry ~8gb of music with me (and no, i don't mean 4 microSD cards 🙂)
2. Bluetooth, EDGE, Wifi
3. Good battery life
4. Decent camera (very low priority)
5. Possibly some "smart phone" features like email, word docs, web surfing (very low priority)
--- UPDATE ---
Here are the phones I'm considering so far (all, obviously, have mp3 players):
Sony Ericsson W810i
* Pros: seems to have excellent sound quality and appears to be fairly small (can't really tell if it's "slim" from pictures though). Has bluetooth, 2MP camera, and supports microSD cards and supposedly decent battery life.
* Cons: the on board memory is < 30MB, I'm not sure how the call quality is, and it seems very expensive (~$300 w/o contract?)
LG CU500
* Pros: quad band phone, very thin, 1.3MP camera w/ rotating lens, microSD slot, seems to be very cheap (<< $100), good call quality, bluetooth
* Cons: no idea on audio quality, internal memory only 16mb
Sony Ericsson W950i
* Pros: Sony audio quality (probably great), 4GB of internal memory (!), amazing screen, 3G, bluetooth, touch screen, almost a smart phone
* Cons: no memory expansion slot, no camera, no document editor... is it out anywhere? probably very expensive?
Samsung SGH-i310
* Pros: 8gb of internal memory (!!!), microSD slot, 2MP camera, windows mobile 5.0, bluetooth, smartphone... pretty much exactly what i want
* Cons: there seems to be very little info on it as i'm not sure it's even out... so call quality, sound quality and price are all unknowns.
