Here’s a little number I missed at CeBIT: the Alcatel OT-S853 music phone, an EDGE-capable Bluetooth candybar model that supports MP3 playback. The unique feature—besides the dedicated music playback control buttons, which all music phones should have—is the integrated speaker in the top. I don’t know exactly how often you’ll need to explain the subtle differences
between Private Eyes- and H2O-era Hall and Oates in public, but now you can dazzle your friends without making them double dip your headphones.
Price and release dates are unknown, as are supported music formats.
