Down on O2's Digital Music Player

Ok, someone has to talk to O2, because their new Digital Music Player is a disaster waiting to happen. Actually, it's a disaster already. The idea is that you have a 64MB Flash MP3 player that, via an infrared port, can piggyback on your cellphone's Internet connection to download songs from an online music store.
Besides it probably taking ages to download an entire album this way, the songs themselves cost upwards of £1.50 each,
you can't listen to any of the songs you've bought on any other device but the DMP, and because it uses infrared rather than Bluetooth, you actually have to keep the infrared ports on the player and the phone in line of sight of each other, something that kinda defeating the purpose of being able to download tunes whole on the go.
