Battery will no doubt suck when u are using it as an MP3 player. It might, however, be slightly longer than the battery life for talktime since it doesnt have to send a radio signal.
Camera is for nothing but close shots. Dont expect it to capture any of the scenery...
the way i see it, u are better off getting a separate mp3 player... cheaper, easier, better... plus listening on the street with headphones will not show the inherent limitations of mp3 encoding unless u go well bellow 96kbps. even 64 might do. and u can fit LOADS of music on a 128 card with 96kbps encoding...
I agree 100% with your recommendations Kaboom. However, I would imagine that the phone would stay connected and still interact with the network while listening to MP3's. I might be wrong on this, but you wouldn't want to miss a phone call because you were listening to a MP3. Therefore, I think that it would only make sense for the phone to still be operating and interacting with the cell phone network.
