Samsung's 2GB SBH-300 Bluetooth MP3 player

Samsung officially announced their 2GB SBH-300 Bluetooth MP3 player. Now, hang with us here 'cause this is not your usual player. As you'd expect, it features the A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile, but ships with what appear to be wired headphones with an inline remote. Out of the box, however, you can pair the SBH-300 with your Bluetooth enabled cellphone allowing the SBH-300 to pull double-duty as a bulky wireless headset. The SBH-300 features a 262k color OLED LCD, FM Tuner, voice recorder, photo viewer, and MicroSD expansion if that 2GB ain't enough. If this is your idea of a good time, then you'll need about $236 to bring it home when it goes up for pre-order starting next month.

That's hot! If it will pair and pause the music when it plays, that might actually be the first player that I've ever seen that could replace my nano and keep me happy!

I meant pause the music when a call is received. ARGH!

I love the name. "SBH-300" just rolls of the tongue, doesn't it?

I love samsung products

Cool, but will it have the same botched BT implementation as their a900/920 handsets for Sprint?

Samsung makes good stuff. This player looks fancy; but I hope they still will have a player for active people. My old Yepp has a metal body and took a heckuva a beating over the last 2 years. (while a sony mp3 player I bought broke while I removed it from the packaging)

No, just at botched as the Verizon SCH-a950 handset. Once you add VCAST you can't play MP3 files anymore... how about that for taking away advertised functionality?

I have a Motorola V360 phone and stereo bluetooth headset.
With a decent size micro SD card, no need to carry
another device.

yes, jeff, but chances are that the sammy's mp3 player would have a much better sound quality (for songs) than your moto.

No, I imagine that it will have jumbled-up pieces of Korean characters- that's what happens when I put my Chinese music on a Korean friend's Samsung MP3 player bought from Korea (they keep telling me to buy an iRiver or Samsung- anything but an iPod, and I listen to them).
