Using touch pro as multimedia player ..

---

hi guys

I want to know if i can use my new touch pro which comes on wednesday as a multimedia player. My Zen just died and i'm being refunded £150 so with this should I buy an extended battery, 32GB SDHC card and just use the pro for music/films?

thanks!

I use it as multimedia player, it performs well, both as music and movie player. Two minors drawbacks compared to my mp3 player: bigger formfactor and lack of hardwarebuttons.

Get urself a set of A2DP headphones with AVRCP buttons. works a treat

(atleast it does with my Hermes)

Can you play high def movies WDawn? If you're on the stock battery how long do you get out of it when using it as a multimeda player? How are the stock earphones? Should I get a mini-usb to 3.5mm converter?

thanks!

Didn't try high def movies yet, just playing the regular Divx (not converted, 700 mb file) and it works great. About the battery life: it's now on for about 6 hours playing albums on the sd card and battery has dropped to about 60% (note that it have push email and 3G on) and that i have been playing around with it quiet a bit.
Stock earphones are so so. Not bad, not great, i'm thinking to buy a mini usb to 3.5 mm converter myself to use my regular headphones.

What player do you use to play the Divx videos WDawn? TCPMP?

good to know i can play movies .. thanks. - it'd be great if i could find out if it did hd also

I will likely only have push email on when i get a data plan sorted sometime so that'll improve the battery life somewhat ... i would like to know how much thicker using an extended battery will make the phone though tbh .. is the "extended battery" a whole new backplate or is it just a large battery with a new backplate (do all extended batteries which require a new backplate come with one?)
