   A phone can play music, but it will never be the same as a dedicated mp3 player. If you wish for best quality in sound - we would recommend mp3 players from iRiver (actually from our tests, much better than iPods).
   Overall this phone is much better than other phones but I wouldn’t confuse it with a dedicated audio player.
