Music cellphones

After the camera phones, it is the music phones that are capturing the consumers fantasy in India.

Music lifts the soul to ecstasy, pure enjoyment. Perhaps the only idea of entertainment cherished by all classes and masses alike. In toady's fast life, we hardly find time to sit in a corner and enjoy listening to old classics on a gramophone!! or attend a music show in the evening. Many of us spend quarter of our life travelling. So one idea that really enthralls us is having 'music on the move'. You will find a rikshawala listening to film songs on a radio in his basket, people enjoying music while traveling to their office in charted buses. Most of the people have stereo systems in their cars and don't forget the college student next door carrying a walkman or an iPod.

The important considerations while buying such phones are:

1. Music Player - MP3, AAC, MPEG4, RA, MIDI ( MP3 is most popular )

2. FM Radio

3. Check the headset for voice clarity and comfort

4. Memory capacity ( 50 MB - 512 MB) - more the memory, more the number of songs you can store.

5. External memory slot to be able to add extra memory later

6. Software to transfer music files between your PC & cellphone

7. Some cellphones have memories that are recognised as removable drives when connected to a PC. So transfering files becomes simple drag and drop function where no software is required.

8. music quick launch key

9. Can you play songs in offline mode ie. some handsets can play music without even inserting SIM card.

10. Bluetooth for cell to cell transfer.
So get the one you want. Break the boredom and entertain yourself while on the move !!
