New phone choices...

I Run With Scissors!

Been looking for a new mobile, and have a couple of questions.

In buying one of the following phones, would they act as a sufficient MP3 (digital audio) player. I know that they all play music, what I'm wondering is are they as effective as a designated player (iPod etc)?, as at this time i'm after a new phone, and to be able to play Mp3's, i thought I might as well combine the 2

These are the choices I've come up with:
LG KG800
Motorola RAZR V3x
Nokia 6280 & 6230i
Samsung D800, E900, Z320
Sony Ericsson W810i, 900i

In lieu of the above, any advice, recommendations, experiences, problems with these.

Some areas I'm wondering about:
As someone who's more used to Nokias, will i find the other makes easy to use?
Which of the above take removable memory, and of which type/ size?
How straight forward is it to transfer audio form PC to phone, cf MP3 player?
 
Out of those, your best bet is the SE W810i. Its the best for mp3's and camera and its relatively small. Also, the SE UI is one of the best in the business, its different than Nokias, but its very easy to adjust to and you shouldn't have any problems
 
Hi, and thanks for your reply.
Since my first post, I've discounted the LG, Motarolas and samsungs, largely because of the absence of radio which i frequently use.
So this leaves the 2 SE's and 2 Nokias.
A couple of things: I've overlooked the issue of 3g, of the 4, which does it apply to?

i've read that the w900i is significantly heavier than the others. Is this important?

Can you confirm what type of memory cards each takes, and the max. size (if there is one)
 
The W810i and W900 take memory stick pro duo cards up to 2 or 4 gb, I can't remember which.

The 6230i takes mmc cards, which I believe go up to 2gb, it's been awhile since I've purchased a phone that uses them so I can't really remember. The 6280 takes minisd, which goes up to 2gb.

The W900 is alot heavier, its also alot bigger but its got a QVGA screen and it has a graphics chip as well as 3g capabilities. The 6280 also has 3g. If you want/need 3g, then your choice is between the W900 and the 6280. I'd get the W900 personally because even though its big, its a nice looking phone and has a better camera for still shots than the 6280.

I still say get one of the SE for mp3 playback if thats your main concern
