Hello,

Right i am planning on getting the iPhone3G 16Gb on 02 on the £35 a month contract and paying £155 for the phone :)

My plan is to roll 3 devices into 1 with the help of the iPhone3G and wonder if anyone else does this and to see what you lot think of the idea :)

Gonna be using the iPhone3G as a mobile phone for a start :p makes sense.

Then i also want to use the iPhone3G as my home music library/player, get myself a nice docking station :)

Then also using my iPhone3G for car for music playing, no more CD's all music located on the iPhone3G :)

Does this seem like a good idea ? work out cheaper and easier i think.

What you lot think ?

Thanks Ben :)
 
Sounds good. One of the best things about the iPhone is how terrific an all-in-one device it can be.

Which dock would you use at home?
 
It's a very good plan mate. :)

Unless you already have hi-fi separates with an aux-in for the phone I can highly recommend the B&W Zeppelin as a Dock.

I know it's expensive but for design and sound quality I've not seen or heard anything that comes close to it.

The only thing I would say about your plan is to make sure you will have enough space on the phone for all your music if you're no longer going to use CDs. 16GB will fill up fairly quick.

Cheers :)

Not sure what sound dock to go for yet had a look at a few, one thats going to work with the iPhone3G for a start lol the B&W does look good and got great reviews but at nearly £400 its a lot of money. There the BOSE sound dock series 2 at £200 which also looks good.

Get the phone first then look at getting the dock next :)

16Gb would be more than enough for me :)
 
I use my iPhone incar and at home, works well with a good headunit. I just stick music on the phone then plug it into the car and control from the headunit or the iPhone!

I'd look into the BOSE unit before buying though, they're generally overpriced and underrated stuff!
 
I'm doing pretty much that with mine, although I don't actually keep any music on my iphone itself, instead I access my itunes library stored on my main pc using a program called Simplify over Wifi or 3G. Maybe worth considering that as an option given as Panzerbjorn points out 16Gb (or 8Gb in my case) fills up pretty quickly.
 
Ben, I know the Zeppelin is twice the price of the BOSE docks but I promise you it is worth it.

My parents were looking to get an iPod and dock so I went with them to check out the different docks - used my iPhone with the same track on it so it was a pretty fair test and the B&W wiped the floor with the BOSE dock.

Also if your computer is nearby, then Simplify is a great idea!
