If you need an mp3 and FM player, but you don't want to give mApple your credit card number, this sounds like a good price.]]>Jan 8th 2009 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/Mar 29th 2011 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/
SO.. a 3G phone (with free opera mini to make it useful), 8 gb storage, integrated walkman, cool mini XMB style menu, motion control games, bluetooth, 3mp camera, the list goes on.

Who's runnin out to buy this for $120? RCA is way out of touch with current trends.

My family uses the w580i's as stand alone mp3 players/ pmps. We have two, one free from AT&T contract, one $50 from insurance replacement (first one got lost, replaced, found... ) The battery lasts forever in airplane mode, since the radio is off, but they can also still be used as edge phones too, but wifey has a v3xx or some 3G razr she likes, and child has a tiny samsung she likes too.]]>Jan 8th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/Jan 8th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/rca-dishes-new-16gb-sl5016-lyra-slider-mp3-player-we-yawn/no text messaging - BLOCKED. (the biggest scam in history of telecommunications...someone should go to jail over that price structure) - if you got something to tell me, call me. I have voicemail.

One line with unlimited media net access for $15 a month- mine- which I use alot.(I just swap sims to download anything to the other handsets if needed)
The rest all have internet access blocked also, so no "bought by accident" or downloads at $/kb.

We never go over minutes, in fact we seem to have rollover minutes all the time. The free mobile to mobile helps, and we have no landlines. So our phone bill is about $110 monthly, which I don't think is too bad - remember, 4 lines.

Considering a single iPhone is at least $60 monthly, and would prob be around $100 in reality, I'm content with our current plan.

I like AT&T, they have excellent coverage in my area, including 3G. I've been with them for years... since before it was Cingular even. So 2 year contracts (18 months in reality) to get subsidized handsets doesn't bother me.

Especially when its a 'Apple' to apples comparison...

But a quick Ebay search found the w580i unlocked, new & used for under $100... (no subsidy), point being: more tech crammed into same form factor for less $.

The point of my original post was just that it seems like a lot of money for not a lot of gadget, better values exist. I tried to provide accurate details of my situation as an example.

$120 for a sliding mp3 player is more laugh inducing than yawn inspiring...
