Cell Phone Plan Comparisons

How does the sound quality on these new cell phones compare to an MP3 or IPod?

My daughter wants one of those "Chocolat" phones so that she can play her tunes and blab at her whim. My wife wants her to get an Ipod and keep her old cell phone. I know the ipods are much better than most of the MP3 players out there, but I don't have a clue about the phones. Some are 40 channels, some are 64 channels, but the Ipod just lists a frequency response, which sounds better to me.

1. well, the Chocolate really is an MP3 player just built inside Phone Firmware. So, it really should be the same. Also, I hear that VCAST is very good.
2. My LG VX9800 (also know as "the 'V'") is also an MP3 player. The sound quality is good and it also has dual speakers. But the only thing about the MP3 player phones is that you can only have 1 GB of music. That is, if you don't want to store anything else on your phone like photos or videos. And you also have to buy the memory card that goes in the phone. Really and Ipod would just be better off. The new generation of Ipods just came out and they are better and cheaper. An Ipod Nano (in her choice of color) would be a better deal. They cost $149 for a 2 GB.
