There is an ever-growing selection of music phones available.
Two of the latest are Sony Ericsson's W850i and the Nokia 5300. Both are slider-style phones and, with their rounded corners and large screens, they bear a remarkable resemblance to each other.
Slightly larger and thicker, the W850i is a sleek number that comes in black or white, and is 3G-compatible, supporting video calls.
Like other W-series phones, the W850i comes equipped with Sony Ericsson's Walkman software for easy access to the phone's music catalogue.
There is also a dedicated play and pause button so you won't have to navigate through tedious menus to control playback.
Sporting a white design with either red or grey accents, the Nokia 5300 also features music-specific capabilities with Nokia's XpressMusic platform.
This includes specific music buttons for playback, rewind and fast-forward functions located on the side of the display.
