Why doesn't anyone use their cellphone as an mp3 player?

It's more convenient and you can be sure to always pick up your phone if you're using it as an mp3 player. I know that some people say there's battery problems and stuff but I just see using your mp3 player as a cellphone way more convinient than using a seperate ipod or mp3 player.

Because my phone sucks. Even if I had a nice mp3 playing phone I'd still use my touch. 16 gigs of music while surfing the web or playing nes games beats even the best mp3 phones.

My phone can't hold as many songs as my iPod can. Although, my phone is a music phone, so I do have songs on it.

Hell no, I dont know whats its like in the states but every man and his dog has a blasted MP3 phone over in the UK. Every single time I go into town on my breaks I hear chavs walking up the high street with there chavy "beats" blasting out so the whole street can hear. I wouldnt mind so much if, one they played good music and two, it wasnt so tinny. If I ever see they guy who thought it was a good idea to put an MP3 player in a phone, I will condem him to a live of cleaning Burger Kings floors.

Because my phone can only hold about 2 gigs of music, compared to my MP3 player holding 80 gigs of music,movies,tv,and also has a radio, can be used as a portable hard-drive, and has the ability to stay charged for more than 2 hours when playing music, unlike my phone.

Because windows media player on windows mobile is a travesty. I'd rather lug around the extra bulk of an mp3 player.

I use my iPod because my phone's battery dies to quickly when it's playing music, it only takes specialized headphones, and my ipo can fit more music/plugs into my iTrip. The iPod is also easier to control when I'm driving, and my phone ringing doesn't interupt it. Internet on cell phones is expensive, too, and on my iPod it's free if I find a Wifi hotspot *^_^*

I did use my phone before I bought my iPod, but in my car I would have a huge book full of all of my CDs. Since then I have digitized all of my CDs in iTunes and now they are all in one tiny device. Very nice indeed!
