H10 Replacement

[Thunderbolt]

My iRiver H10 has just about passed away, and am now gonna start looking for a replacement, thought I'd come here for a headstart. I'm a bit spoilt because of the shear sound quality of the H10, specially the bass. But something with better support would be nice.
Looking for a new phone aswell, so a combi could be an idea, but i doubt this will give me great quality.
So something like the H10 would be fine with >5gb, am massively out of touch with mp3 players, as i've had my H10 for ages, so any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

the bass on my H10 using rockbox is just fearsome. i still pull it out now and again when feel that need for mega bass, it just eclipses my sony 816. the midrange and treble are harsh compared to the sony though. if you want overall sound quality, the sonys are the ones to go for. the batteries will last a hell of a lot longer, the overall sound is much more coherant (though it doesnt have the absolutely bottom end of the h10) and they are drag and drop like the h10.
