all my life i've been through all types of mp3 players and the best in the market starting from creative zen,ipod,ending with the best of all Cowon s9 and guys believe me when i say the precious n900 is no much adifference from them with ofcourse the huge advantages the n900 deliever begining from as it's a phone and smal pc,and don't need to carry much portables like PMPs and Mp3 in addition to ur phone.

bottom line N900 SOUND QUALITY ROCKS ALTHOUGH wished it hase the same level as the n810 and yes it replaces the mp3 player.
