ooh. i've always wanted to do the same thing. but i don't have money so i just use my phones radio whenever i'm commuting. it works well for me actually because i often discover new songs this way.;) but in your case, i think you should buy them separately. there are a lot of phones that allow enough space for songs but problems arise because of the phone's battery. i don't know why but my previous phones die out fast, and i usually ended up with no music and no phone to communicate with:(

my friend who does phone selling tells me that the battery in phone and in laptop are for 1000 times charging, if it reach 1000 times then the quality of battery will drop

Buy them separately because if you lose it you can lose two in one but if you have them separate you can lose one but still have the other one.

When i was working before, i do the same too, i took the bus back and forth, for 45 mins. It's boring inside of the bus doing nothing and for my situation, it is very tiring..so, i decided to get new mp4 VL 972 with 2000 songs in it. It makes me listen and forget the boring time and let me fall asleep while in the bus. And it doesn't make me feel dizzy too..so i think it is worth it.

I think that it is worth buying an mp4 player because like that you will not be bored and you can always listen to all the music that you enjoy and when you listen to music it helps to keep you relaxed and time seems to be going by. The mp4 that I got is one from the company Philips and I bought it at Wal-mart and I think that it is just great because it's small and can fit in ones pocket so I just love it. SO far I have had no issues with my mp4.

I recommend you to buy a mobile phone which is said to be high-tech...which can play video, music, tv capable, any everything...which means you can enjoy yourself in all-in-one!

It would be a good investment to buy a Mp4 player so you won't be bored for thirty minutes from home to your office. I would suggest you to buy them separate because if you get the Sony Ericcson phone the batteries might drain out quickly. I have a Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-Shot and I highly don't recommend it. The battery life sucks, the phone sucks overall but I am not sure about the walkman model. Good luck :)

I would probably go for the mp4 player! It is relatively cheaper than the mobile phone. An ipod would also be a great idea although they can be quite expensive. When I go out on the bus I too like to listen to music or watch a video and it certainly helps to make the journey more enjoyable. I think it's your decision but you should follow your heart and decide which device is having that magnetic affect on you! Good luck. Andrew

Well if you want extra entertainment then the Mp4 is for you as MP4s have video functions, the usual music and radio functions and many more features, depending on the model you buy. If you're just a music lover or someone who just needs music to accompany you for your whole journey then I think you should buy Sony's products.

it will depend if you have budget to buy a phone and an mp4 player.personally I don't use my phone for entertainment.I have an IPod that I use for entertainment.lately there are a lot of petty street crimes going on,with bag snatching and hold ups.I don't bring my IPod anymore,so I won't be a target.lucky for me my phone isn't a high-end model,so these muggers will think twice about stealing an old phone model.

I don't think so.. I think MP4 player have all quality like videos, audios and also camera.. so i think it is not wort to buy it.. it is the way of to listen music and also watch the video songs in it.. so i think it is good.. and sometimes is the way of time pass..

You should buy one. But a good one, with a good battery life, and a good sound. There lots of cheaps mp4 , that when you use them in a bus, or in the street , you dont listen ANYTHING. But yes its totally worth it to buy a mp4 , appart from your cellphone.

if you have the budget you better go for mobile phone instead. So that you wouldn't have to carry both a phone and a mp4 player. Unless you don't use a phone, then mp4 player might be a good choice. Nowadays, even cheaper phones can play good music with an earphone attached.

If you have enough money to buy these products, I think you should buy both of them. Because both of them are important in our lives. The mp4 player is better for playing music and watching video, while the mobile phone is more convenient to connect with the other people. If you only wanna choose one of them, you should choose the one that is more important for you now.
