There's been a lot of talk lately about how phones with mp3 functionality will inevitably take over the mp3 player market. Consolidation seems to be the word. The folks at Geeks.com sent us the US edition of the (unlocked) Nokia 3300 mp3 phone -- one of the first of its kind -- and we put it to test.

I was referring more to the interface that the styling, I've used a similar phone before (the aforementioned 5510 which is on much the same lines) and it was really nice. Looks a bit odd when you talk on it though.
Then again, I've never been a fan of Nokia's interfaces, so far I've found SonyEricsson to be the nicest, but that may change when I get my next phone.

I must say that the phone (and the T310, ugh) is one of the worst looking things I've seen, and it's hardly new. I knew a guy with a Nokia 5510 which had a very similar MP3/AAC playback function back in 2002, but it was never sold in the US.
I have a SonyEricsson K700i, it plays MP3s and has a FM tuner and even has a progress bar. Sure, I paid more for it, and it only has 40MB of storage, but it gets me to work. It also has bluetooth, IrDA, a camera and although you are still stuck with a supplied headset, it's a stereo headset with a mic for handsfree operation.
I'd still prefer an iPod though, I think it has a better music management interface. Phone companies still have a long way to go.
