How about getting an iPod touch - you can use that for your music, internet surfing and phone (facetime). I don't think smartphones are the way to go either for music.

Let's chat!

I got myself a smartphone for Christmas with the same issue. I had an iPod anyway so I only use the phone music player if it's currently being charged. It does drain a ton of battery life and even with Juice Defender running, my phone only lasts an average of 5-6 hours. I only use it at home, especially if I'm doing something on the computer and don't want somethin else running during whatever I happen to be doing.

The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.

I have an iPod touch and a regular, nothing special phone, and I actually like carrying them both around. While having a smartphone would take up less space in my pockets, I wouldn't be able to text and use the apps on my iPod at the same time!

Yes, I'd rather have a separate mp3 player than try to use my smartphone for music. Actually I don't even have a smartphone, so I guess the point is moot in my case, but I have heard many complaints about battery drainage. Razz

Hi I have a smart phone, but use a Sony player. It is the size of a credit card and will run for about 30 hours straight before needing to be charged. All the features of the i-stuff and a lot less costly.

Good Listening

Cheers for the replies and new ideas. I did look at the app recommended earlier, but in the end decided to get an MP3 player and stick with the phone being a phone. I was hoping I may get something like this for xmas but it didn't happen, so I will have to buy it myself. Mad
