I havent got my hot little hands on my phone yet (DHL website says tomorrow ) so Im not sure about the quality of the media player... is it good enough to ditch my 80gb iPod video?
I actually stopped using my 80GB Zune at the gym and just take my BB with me. It makes it much easier to carry justone device.
That being said, I am a podcast junkie. I have several weekly podcasts that I listen to (including Crackberry). The Zune software is able to download each as they become available and it is (currently) easier to listen and manage them on it (Viigo/Tango may change that). I also have about 35 movies on my Zune, which is nice to carry around and not have to swap files out on smaller microSD cards.
yes i see what you mean about the memory. i was just wondering to myself if i would be lugging around my brick of an iPod and my phone...if my BB addiction is anything like my ipod addiction, im in big trouble
Definitely will still use it once I get my BB. You can't replace a dedicated MP3 player with a smartphone. As a secondary device? Yes. As my main device? No.
If I had a iPod or mp3 player, I would probably still use it for my car and hook it up to the adapter and leave it there. I would use my Curve everywhere else.
I don't listen/watch to music/movies as I don't get the time, but when I start going to the gym more often, I may actually do that.
I still have my ipod and use it only when I'm on an aeroplane. The long distance would have drained my BB battery in no time.
But for short time (i.e. walking in the neighbourhood, shopping...) I use my BB. I find that carrying one device is simpler than carrying two, when the first device can do the same thing as the second...
Seeing as I currently have 40 ish of my 80gb iPod stocked with music, using my blackberry as a replacement is next to impossible.
With my musical tastes and random nature, the restriction that a blackberry has just wont cut it for my daily listening habits. Between work / commuting and errands, my iPod is still much more usable than the blackberry.
Having a few nifty new songs on the blackberry is always a good time though.
I still use my ipod for full length.TV shows/movies simply because of storage capacity and it can be hooked up to a TV for full sized playback. But for my music and podcasts I just let itunes download them and I just drag n drop them to my berry. Although on occasion I will still use the ipod for music since I have a stereo docking station for it.

I would use the BB for driving, but I plug in my MP3 player. That thing uses a triple A and it takes it awhile. If I am rolling with my BB, you know I am on the phone! HOLLA!
