Music and phones have had a happy marriage for quite some time now, but the latest generation of smart phones has seen storage and media players being taken to the next level. Many handset providers are now making serious waves in the music industry with the release of their own music stores. Of course, Apple has iTunes, but then there’s the Nokia Music Store along with other provider releases. If you’re looking to merge your iPod and phone handset into one device, then it’s now entirely possible to do that with the huge size of a phone’s memory. If you want to find a great music playing handset, then here are three of the best.
Nokia x6
This phone has either 16GB or 32GB of hard disk space, which is room for 5,500 or 11,000 tracks respectively. The larger model can have the Nokia ‘Come with Music’ feature, which means you won’t have to spend as much time transferring data onto your cell phone. The phone’s battery can endure a very long 18 days of standby time, 11.5 hours of talk time and 35 hours of music playback! That’s enough time to listen to around 6% of the phones entire disk space. Further features of this handset are a 5 megapixel camera with duel LED flash, applications and pre loaded games including Spore by EA, Asphalt4 and DJ Mix Tour.
