So, I have a huge decision to make in the near future. My contract expires soon, and my SYNC (Samsung A707) is starting to show signs of neglect and abuse. Since I started running I have noticed that it gets boring really quick without something to set a pace in my head.

I currently rock A ZVM, (which is half full, I pack light when I am away from the house), but almost messed myself when the announcement of the N81 8GB came to light.

The hard part of this decision is that Creative today announced a Flash upgrade and redesign of the Zen to die for, (not to mention the Zen V+ 16GB), leading me to this pair of questions. Do I continue to have two devices, a solid phone and a solid mp3 player? Or I switch to the N81 and take a chance on the battery dying when I need to make a call, but make up for it in the space saved in my pocket?

yeah, let me now when you have answer:) biggest problem is that n95me i am looking after, dont have sd card slot, and i am not fan of funny led based flash:/

So i need something like n95me+xenon flash(=n82? maybe, but i like sliders and huge n95me screen). So what i really need is n95me(form, internal memo)+n82(cam, wifi and so on), they can even take out gps:). Need to make mockup:D

Oh and if you worry about battery life, second battery will be always smaller than second device:D

oh, i do have answer:), if you need 30gb+ go with hard drive based player+mobile phone otherwise nokia is more than enough

So, after seeing the $599 price tag for the phone, I have decided that I am just too thrifty for such niceties. It would be much less expensive to pick up the Zen 16GB for $300 alongside a really solid standard cellphone included with a plan upgrade that just has an amazing talk ability instead of endless gizmos attached to services I won't use anyway.
