I want a new cell phone that is also an mp3 player, but I do not want a camera. I can't take it to work due to security restrictions so it would be too much of a pain in the ass to have a camera on the phone. I asked a few vendors in Yongsan and they looked at me like I was trying to deliver a pizza to Mars. "Why on Earth would this crazy foreigner want a phone with fewer features??"

Can I get one? Or do they not bother making that particular combination?

Not sure who you work for, but check that MP3 players don't have the same restrictions on them as camera phones.. they do in my place.

Never heard of such a thing, I'm afraid.

Sure... Samsung made those kinds of phones, but finding one still new might be a big of a challenge. Then again, it's a JUNE phone, so you'd be paying for everything you download, if i'm not mistaken.

In all honestly, I wouldnt' bother.

My phone is .mp3 and the quality isn't that great. Lacking bass and doesn't get very loud.

The rule is: no cameras, laptops etc. I'm sure I could sneak it in, but was seeing if I could avoid that altogether. I've got a nice little digital camera anyway.

But from what I gather the mp3 phones are almost non-existant and not worth it anyway. Someone mentioned battery life to me and I hadn't even thought of that. I'd hate to be bouncing to some tunes at the gym and accidentally kill my phone. Separate units it is!

Thanks for the ideas/opinions though!

Battery life isn't an issue on my phone. Not with .mp3.

I can watch a 2 hour movie on one battery -- so long as I set the LCD at 65%, which is fine. That's with 2 LCD screens (front and back) going the whole time. With mp3, the LCDs aren't lit up for more than 5 seconds.
