Not a good choice for music phone

MP3 Player – This is the one that disappointed me. The phone has an MP3 player which plays MP3. That is it, it doesn’t do any thing else. It does not support play lists which is really bad. I have never seen an MP3 player without play list support. The website mentions “Edit your favourite playlistâ€, this is actually misleading to many. What you can do is you can add songs to “Favourites†which is the only playlist. For a phone supports a huge 16gb memory which can hold thousands of songs, having a single playlist is totally useless. The navigation is also pathetic. Even if you organize the songs in separate folders, you can not browse through folders. The phone displays a folder along with songs in it, you can not see multiple folders at the same time. The player supports repeat and shuffle play modes. The sound is good both via the speaker(which is really loud and clear) and the supplied headset. The sound is actually better with the supplied headphones than my altec lansing headphones. The phone ofcourse can have thousands of songs in the supported memory, but having more than three or four albums, or say 10 in this kind of interface will be very irritating[/quote]
