MUSIC:- iPod versus a Smartphone?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a Nokia touch & type phone, the contract on that runs out in about sometime say Nov/Dec time - I have a basic Kindle coming off Amazon shortly for reading - I am currently buying CDs off Amazon and playing them on (1) a mini tower system my son gave me several years ago now & (2) a personal flat 7"square electronic device I can plug headphones into, but I want something more personal/portable. After doing some research on Google about what the various portable electonic devices are about.I have come up with the iPod OR do I wait until later in the year when my phone is up for renewal & my free SKY tv goes off (to do with O2 going over to SKY for internet provision) & then Xmas would be coming up ..... & tie every thing up neatly and go for a smartphone?

The original Kindles came with a USB charger (looking remarkable similar to the iPhone one)  and lead, but any micro-usb phone charger would charge it. I tend to use whatever lead comes to hand, but then I do have a large choice Smiley LOL

Reason Kindle dont come with a charger is to try & get people to buy the official Amazon one at the silly price they charge.

 

I sorted out a Sony Ericsson USB charger plug for my mother to charge her Kindle up, so much cheaper then what Amazon want to charge.

You could get an adapter like this one

and use your Nokia charger
