Draconian Guppy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) I'm currently looking for 2 things: 1. Cellphone 2. Mp3 Player on #1 Please don't make any suggestions pointing to any US phone carrier, as I would buy the phone probably on ebay, so questions like "where do you live" best be avoided :) Phones specs I care about the most are: Phone build quality Call quality also FLIP phones are a must, maybe, just maybe a slider, no candybars like k750i or W800, Razr is way to over-used-owned so exclude that as well. on #2 Must not be a disposable toy, this meaning, The battery should be easily changed or have an easy manner of replacement ( again, I'm not in the US, so please refrain from saying "oh just send your ipod to an apple center it costs $100 to replace), Although I have considered an ipod video and some battery replacement kits, I just don't want an i-pod. Specs I care about the most * LONG battery life * Player build quality ( as I want it to last at least a 2-5 years) * Min 10Gb or more for storage Specs I don't care about * brand ( although se above... lol) * video playing capabilities ( after all I just want a mp3 player) I did consider however, getting a k750i for it's mp3 playing capabilities, but turned away because 2-4gb is'nt enough. Anyway... I plan to spend TOPS on both those items $500, maybe $250 a piece, although It could be $400 and $100 (well you get the idea :p ). Although I did post several musts, I guess suggestions are always welcomed :) Edit: Upon researching non-ipod mp3 players i've found Toshiba Gigabeat f40 for $180 this is under $200 which would leave me $300 for a cellphone ( or less for the phone anyway...). The player is a 40gb which I think is cheap for it's price @amazon. Edited November 20, 2006 by maudit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 BUMP now considering the following: Cowon Iaudio x5 Creative vision:m ( although it doesn't have built in USB OTG like toshiba or cowon for download my camera pics on the player when I run out of memory, not a biggie though..)

hifive Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I just got the Vision M yesterday and I love it. IMO, the best MP3 player out right now. Also, I got the Sony Ericsson K750i acouple weeks ago: best phone I've ever had. If you spend a little bit more, I say get the Sony Ericsson K800i and the Zen Vision M. If you absolutely must stick to the budget, I'd recommend the SE K750i and Vision M combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
