Say goodbye to your mp3 player and camera

[Blanke]

I just discovered this gem while looking at Sony Ericsson phones--I'm trying to look for a phone I might like for when I attend college, i hope, during the fall of 2006--and can't believe all of the features that it offers.

EDIT: Sony Ericsson W800 (my bad)

It incorporates a 2.3 megapixel camera, 512mb+34internal phone memory (and upgradable to 1 gb through the purchase of a card) for mp3, and you can talk on it. Of course.

With the advancement of technology, more specifically memory storage, the phones that come out in the near future will make mp3 players obselete. It's all about the multi-function gadgets, and this phone looks sheek too.

If I went to college, I'd rather just carry that around, although it'd be a less-than-a-pound package summing up to about $500 sitting in my pocket, than haul around a camera, phone, and mp3 player. I'd have to pay for each separately, and granted each will be much more useful in its respective category, but 2.3 megs is quite a lot especially when cameras back then costed quite a bit for that much. You can get 7-10ish megapixels now for upwards of $500, and 2-5 megapixel cameras for $500 or less, so why not just pay a little extra (or less) for the phone which can also play mp3 players.

I want it badly, like I want to stop playing Continuum badly, but I can't.

Yeah it was already out in Hong Kong and Japan when I was there earlier this summer. Pretty kickass phone I'd say.

[Dameon Angell]

I'll buy it for $500

That can't put 20gb of music at my fingertips though. Suppose I completely change what I want to listen to mid-stride? You just can't do that with flash-based mp3 players.

2M pixel's (BTW, amount of pixels does not equal quality, which many of you still think).
4GiB memory for stuff, like mp3's.
WLAN, B-tooth, USB 2.0
Series-60


Also it looks just as ugly as that Sony-Ericsson.

A nice phone with bad mp3 player and bad camera? Why can't they make a real camera with a built in phone and mp3 player instead. Imagine people could call your camera! No but really, they should just focus on making the cell phones better than to pack them with crappy functions such as the camera and mp3.

I have a Sony Ericsson phone now, it turns itself on and off whenever it feels like, so I won't be buying another sony one.

I think you set it to 'energy saving' then :P

The idea of combining is nice, but unless they come up with much stronger accumulators you shouldn't listen to mp3's on the phone or your battery goes buh bye and you cannot use the phone for it's primary purpose anymore. So it's easier to get an mp3 player than to carry a separate accumulator for listening to music and to using phone.

[RATTY...]

It's the same as K750i, except for more space, and the buttons are shit.

They already have, alcohol and gasoline based batterys which last way longer than what we have now in use. Biggest problem with those are how to make them safe to use right now. Having electricy and gasoline in my pocket does not sound safe.

id prefer that nokia one

[Golden Sun 1]

Problem is that usually those require their original headphones which are crap. And 2mpix cam isn't really enough if you want to take some serious pictures, perhaps it's ok when you go get yourself drunk etc and want to remember something from that night..
