There's no WP for me...

50GIG of music? A bit excessive? I mostly have my mp3 files on a CD and listen to them in my car. **** it sound better.

I have a large music collection, but that idea is mostly becoming obsolete with things like X-Box music pass. I only have 8 GB of storage on my WP7 phone, and pretty much listen to whatever I want on Zune Pass.

And size and look and feel are things that I can only satisfactorily determine by holding one in person. As excited as I am for WP8, which handset I choose will be decided in the at&t store.

Who the **** needs immediate access to 50 gigs of music? I have like 5000 metal songs and I can happily put 20 gigs worth on my device and switch it up when I get bored. The syncing is easy. Quit being so prissy.

I think the iPhone 5 is a TERRIBLE form factor. Ugly *** phone.

IMO the phone is far from ugly aesthetically speaking, however it feels brittle and soft. Read: break me off a piece of that kit kat bar anyone?) And because it feels so fragile, it defeats the purpose of functionality and how one should handle a cell phone. I don't want baby my phone but clearly Apple wants to control it's users.

I like having immediate access to the exact song I'm in the mood to listen to, but the cloud is solving the issue that we don't need to carry every song on our devices.

Syncing 20GB of music takes a long time. I do lots of walking and I never know what I will feel like.

The reason I have so much is because I rip in 320kbps mp3, which I consider a good upper bound for sound quality that I can actually appreciate.

I'm in the process of re-ripping my CDs to 320kbps. It's as good as it gets on an .mp3 file and the better sound quality is very noticeable compared to 128kbps or 160kbps.

My thoughts exactly. I tried lossless for a few cds, but really couldn't tell the difference on my headphones. 320kbps mp3 seems like a good compromise.

I want an ativ S that looks like an 8s.

If 8S becomes popular (I am sure it will), you will see a similiar samsung phone like that soon..

lolwat. The Note 2 is far from perfect. Maybe if you carry a murse and have shaquille O'Neal hands.

There isn't a WP for me either. .... BECAUSE NO ONE IN THE US SELLS THEM!

You'd be better off ripping them to V0 VBR. Smaller files but almost no difference (if any) in quality.

Is there a difference between V0 VBR and 320 CBR?
