Me too, for the most part. 

I don't give a rats ass about the camera in my phone, because I know it takes terrible pix.  But if it took good pix, I'd use it.  I know my phone has Bluetooth, but I have no reason to use Bluetooth because its just a standard phone.  Ringtones are ghey, and those headsets are gheyer. 

But if my phone had wi-fi, Bluetooth, mp3, web browser, e-mail, touchscreen, camera, microSD expansion...  I'd freakin ATTEMPT  to use it before I bought a goddamn $250 mp3 player. 

Now I'm just gettin' pissed off...

The only valid purpose of a ring tone is that it distinguishes your phone from the 15 others around you. If all phones sounded the same, you wouldn't know whose was ringing.

I like my iPod classic cause it has a physical button that I can press without taking the thing out of my pocket.

I wouldn't be responsible for my actions if that happened.

The other feature of my cell phone is a real mechanical bell ring.

One of the better ring tones I've heard is one that starts off soft and then gets progressively louder. It says, "Hey, your phone is ringing. It's the phone! Answer the Goddamn phone!"

dumb logic.
i've been in crowds where any number of various ring tones generates an automatic, reflective reaching for the phone, by a number of people.
i had the theme to the GODFATHER as a ringtone.
that's the only way , nigra

Mike, I have a lot of respect for your ability to describe things in a literary fashion, but I think we've reached an impasse.  That ringtone you describe, it doesn't sound very appealing to me.  In fact, it sounds like something that would push me right over the edge.

Perhaps I should have said, "More innovative."

Then there is the one that says, "Quick, hide! It's your wife!"

Mine is just the standard ringtone that came with the phone. I will not pay for a ringtone!

I don't use my smartphone as a media player because I don't want the damned thing to lose its place 1hr and 45 minutes into an FTL podcast because someone called me. There's no bookmarking feature on those. :(

I've been using a $100 (cost 3 years ago) Insignia player that I got for Christmas. It has 2Gb of storage. I've gone through 4 sets of headphones with it and it is starting to crackle when the headset connector gets jiggled a little but I'm going to use it until it gives out. Occasionally I have to wipe it out by resetting because the album art gets out of whack.

My wife had a Sansa player but I just got her a Zen player for $79 (from Costco). It has 8Gb of storage and a bigger screen than my Insignia. I don't really get the controls on it, but i load it up with songs and audio books for her and she seems pretty comfortable with it. If mine goes any time soon that's what I'm going to get for myself.

I use Windows media player to manage mine and get along just fine with it. Sometimes I drag and drop files using windows explorer, but just to remove them. I also use "Overdrive" to download audio books from the public library. That's how the Mrs and I have been listening to the Sword of Truth series.

Several votes for Creative Zen. 

I'm pretty sure those (I get a little befuddled) have the microSD expansion. 

Not surprised the iPhone doesn't bookmark, they don't care as long as you buy from iTunes.  Songs are four minutes, thats what they sell.

You should be able to set up bookmarks: just right click on the media and click Get Info then the Options tab and the Remember Playback Position checkbox.

I am seriously considering upgrading my iPhone 3G to the 3GS. Not looking forward to having an unjailbroken phone though: http://thebigboss.org/2009/06/28/iphone-3gs-jailbreak-delayed/
