Top 10 reasons you should (not) buy a music phoneBy Jørgen Sundgot, Friday 24 February 2006
Want a new music phone but can't explain your significant other (or financial advisor) just why you deserve one? Fret not; infoSync World is here to help clear things up a little.

10. Enjoy the pleasure of denial by not getting to synchronize more than 100 songs from your iTunes collection

9. You're into S&M and actually enjoy the soundscape emitted by your average pair of bundled earphones

8. Buying expensive memory cards which are so small you'll lose them for sure doesn't bother you

7. Neither do you mind that those cards will likely be incompatible with every other piece of consumer electronics in your possession

6. Similarly easily-lost conversion dongles for getting a standard 3.5 mm jack are a plus (you're getting the sarcasm by now, right?)

5. Extortionately priced in-phone music shopping, complete with the inability to synchronize purchased music to your PC

4. The whole phone-rings-pause-MP3-player-rip-out-headphones-strangle-self with-tangled-handsfree-kit-ultimately-miss-call thing is getting old

3. Your music goes everywhere you go, letting you shut the rest of the world out more efficiently

2. Convergence is bliss; you'll have one less device to keep charged - and be even worse for it when you eventually lose the damn thing

1. They're pretty darn cool, aren't they
