RIM BlackBerry Storm 9530 Smartphone

from www.amazon.com
i had an iphone and i determined it was really a media player struggling to be a phone, if you really need robust media delivery in a cell phone you can also obtain the iphone features from lg and
from www.amazon.com
i use mine as a media player in addition to the phone, and it is very good.
from www.amazon.com
it's for those who want foremost and above all a great multi-media system with typing and business taking more of a secondary role.
from www.amazon.com
one unfortunate thing about it is that rim has for some insane reason selected roxio to provide a media manager (along with the atrocious rhapsody/real drm and adware infested disaster that verizon

i also have over 7gb of music loaded on my microsd card and i can honestly say that the media player on the storm is pretty decent, i'd give it 8/10 points.

RIM Research In Motion BB8900CURVE Curve 8900

$230.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
there are some drawbacks to this phone, the internet on mine has a tendency to freeze up randomly, despite it only being a few weeks old, it has issues also with the media player when playing videos
from www.amazon.com
the media functions are very nice on it as well.
from www.amazon.com
media playback was exceptional, although i wish it supported gapless playback (minor annoyance).
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Smartphone

$383.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
as a media device it features second to none audio quality (with good encoding and headphones it sounds incredible), and a truly amazing screen for photo viewing and video playback.
from www.amazon.com
however, with that said i did want a phone that played media very well, texted well, and of course functioned as a phone well.
from ran, www.newegg.com
love the dedicated media shortcut.as with the resistive touchscreen, the other type used by the iphone is call capacitive; the good thing about capacitive is you use your finger and everything is
from Matt B, www.newegg.com
from the media addict to the business jock on-the-go, this phone can handle anything out there.

Nokia E71 Cell Phone

$393.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
* it plays all kinds of media files (audio is decent, and the speaker loud enough) and youtube.
from www.amazon.com
i got the att media net package for $15/month, and the internet works great everywhere, it is very fast.
from www.amazon.com
i like the media player, especially since it doesn't limit the number of songs you can have (i had a motorola with itunes before, which i loved, but was limited to 100 songs).
from www.amazon.com
though the media player is awesome, pair up with a stereo headset and voila (it also supports album art, and easy way to create playlists )!
from www.amazon.com
media - the phone continues to do great on this front.

HTC G1 Smartphone

$425.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the camera phone/email integration is also great, making it easy to send picture attachment, so that your friend doesn't have to have the expensive multi media messaging.
from www.amazon.com
depending on the type of user you are, the g1 can be a dream-come-true device (google-services-dependent) or a disappointment (media/application-heavy user coming from iphone); it just depends on
from www.amazon.com
this phone combines multi-media features, a touch screen, and constant internet connection with a phone that actually works really well!
from www.amazon.com
we were all watching movies, low and behold it's perfectly functional as a media device.
from www.amazon.com
as another reviewer put it: "depending on the type of user you are, the g1 can be a dream-come-true device (google-services-dependent) or a disappointment (media/application-heavy user coming from

RIM BlackBerry Bold 9000 Smartphone

$350.00 Est. at Amazon

from Er1ca, www.newegg.com
my old phone doesn't even compare to this :) cons: media card slot - its a pain to add & remove the card other thoughts: buy the skin to protect it.
from www.amazon.com
another thing is the built-in media player it comes with is glitchy sometimes while streaming movies.
from www.amazon.com
-media (camera, musicplayer, etc.): blackberrys have a surprisingly sharp media set-up, and the bold only improves upon it.
from www.amazon.com
the blackberry bold also has a very loud and good quality speaker for phone calls and also for media funcitons like listening to music or watching videos.
from www.amazon.com
i liked the media application on the phone.

per at&t, the $10.00 media basic plan i had from jump street was not qualified with the phone and i was required to purchase separate data & message plans.
from www.amazon.com
if media is your primary requirement this particular model will be slightly disappointing.

Nokia N85 Cell Phone

$455.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
media sound using earbuds is also excellent, nokia earbuds offer less volume than regular earbuds but i think it's more a health restriction than a technical isuue so if you wanna hear your music
from www.amazon.com
the media library viewer is awesome.
from www.amazon.com
simply hooking the n85 to a pc running vista or xp lets you do most of the things you need to flawlessly, including syncing with windows media player, and uploading pictures and video.
from lt.dell.com
pros:?connecting with friends, gaming, music & movies, school, finances reviewbought this for my wife as a gift, she used to own an n80 and this one was a huge upgrade.pros:- much better camera
from www.amazon.com
for lot of online applications it keeps prompting do you want to connect online with at&t internet, at&t wap medianet, or wifi every single time.

Nokia N79 Cell Phone

$372.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
while media fans may prefer the larger oled on the n85, or a 8mp in the se c905, i would highly recommend the n79 for the large mainstream audience.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't tried my unlimited at&t media net plan on the n79 because i use that feature on my n78 and i didn't feel like exchanging sim cards.

Nokia N97 32 GB Cell Phone

$747.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
but for someone who wants a decent media phone with lots of space, it's definately worth the money.
from www.amazon.com
at the end of the day, the n97 was primarily a media/internet device, not a business-oriented word processor/pda.

Palm Treo Pro Smartphone

another feature that i love is the windows media player to which you can transfer your music and video files from your computer to the phone, and the sound quality is great.
from www.amazon.com
this is the best business tool and has excellent media capabilities as well.
from www.amazon.com
- the built-in windows media player doesn't have an equalizer or any type of tweaker.
