I think Mobiles sound good on Headphones but however it's the battery problem,
many new phones today bearley last considering the many other features we use on them.
I think having your Mobile there as a mobile makes sence and having a Mp3 player for music,
is a better way

I don't think battery life is a problem at all. I have my usb cable in the office so I plug it in all the time where I can use it for web surfing, syncing and music (this is where my 3.5mm jack comes really handy) while it gets charged, and I have a car charger where I can plug it in as well when I'm on the go, works really well with the GPS too, no worries about the battery getting drained. I think we can all have the battery issue well covered this way.

Well I splashed the cash on an X series Walkman.
Went into local Argos and there were 10 of them on show in the box so I couldn't resist and bought the 16GB version for £170, I kind of wish I got a Ipod touch but I'm happy with the walkman.
Edit: And it is better than any music phone from SE, the sound quality is far better. The screen is really good (oled) especially compared to my satio, the colous look washed out compared to my walkman.

Well, no one's gonna argue with you that the X-series is a better player than any SE Walkman phone. It's the best sounding portable player in the market. Period. Which makes me wonder why on earth would you even wish you got an iPod in the first place, Sony audio on the X-series is obviously light years ahead

i stopped using my phone as a music player. i guess it will prolong the battery life of my phone because continuous charging and discharging could shorten the lifespan of the battery. i bought myself an ipod nano 5g and use it instead.

That's peculiar, what bitrate do you encode your MP3's in? You are aware that this affects sound quality greatly right? If you're talking about 96-160kbps then of course it sounds terrible

Cassette tape cannot possibly sound better since 192kbps encoded MP3s are already of CD audio quality

IMHO,

phones are the best mp3 players around.. they even beat the

!
my K700i was my mp3 player before (but i have to encode my songs to AAC-LC/96kbps/mono to fit at least 30 songs) but the sound quality is basically great!
then my G502 came.. with that beast MegaBass, and AudioPhile Premium Acoustics of miss Hiron.. with a HPM-70.. and a 4GB M2.. and i quickly became an audiophile wasting more hours of music.. insanely great than my china-made MP3 players and the iPod..
i want to test encoding CD's to uncompressed wave format..

Im satisfied enough with my phone, and i dont want to go back using my mp3 player since my phone much better than it (i just have cheap mp3 player)
I'm use my phone for listening music at least 2hours/day.
With mod acoustic, adjustable eq, average IEM (in my taste), and 320kbps songs, i get nice quality sound output.
But i hope one day se will make their phone support *.flac

for me, still using standalone mp3 player most of the time, for short walks I'll use my phone, but for driving and long distance trips I'll use my mp3 player, reasons are typically for battery life and high capacity in my hd player.
