Nokia today announced a special music version of the iconic 6630 smartphone. The Nokia 6630 Music Edition has been designed with enhanced music functionality to make it convenient for you to take your music collection with you while on the move. Shipping later this month, the Nokia 6630 Music Edition is available for European, Middle Eastern and African markets.
"The Nokia 6630 Music Edition is a fantastic combination of music, smartphone and 3G," said Tuula Rytila-Uotila, Director, Imaging EMEA, Nokia. "You can carry a good portion of your music collection with you where ever you go and with the Nokia Audio Adapter, you can quicky connect your favorite set of music headphones."
The updated music player makes it easier than ever to manage and play your music files. The included 256-megabyte memory card lets you store up to 15 CDs worth of music while support for up to 1 GB RS-MMC means you'll never have to be without your favorite tunes. You can transfer music to the Nokia 6630 Music Edition quickly and easily, with the included Nokia PC Suite software or with the bundled Nokia USB MMC/SD reader. Connecting your favorite headphones is a snap with the Nokia Audio Adapter and its 3.5 mm stereo jack.
Available in either Rustic Red or Aluminum Grey, the Nokia 6630 Music Edition is easy to personalize with a new selection of themes and ring tones pre-installed. You can also benefit from the wide range of smartphone features, including a 1.3 megapixel camera, mobile broadband access with WCDMA networks, mobile email, streaming video and much more.
Nokia today also launched the Nokia Music Pack, a bundled package of enhancements that makes it easy to enjoy your music collection on your mobile device. The package includes the Nokia Audio Adapter, the Nokia 256 MB MMC Card, the Nokia USB MMC/SD reader and Nokia Stereo Audio Cable. You can even share your mobile music experience by plugging your compatible phone - like the Nokia 6630 Music Edition - into your home stereo with the audio adapter and stereo audio cable.
I hope they include music player software which is included with the 6681. Much easier to use than the real player, iTunes like file handeling.
Luckily the Adapter is also sold separately, I'm thinking about it... but than I would need to buy a much better headset

Note: Nokia claims that you can fit 15 CDs worth of music on the 256Mb card, but then you have to recording very
low quality MP3s. Maybe with the 1Gb memory one could record 10 CDs worth of MP3s to the phone (highest quality).
Calculated like this:
1 song in good quality needs around 6MB in MP3 format.
10 MP3 song = 60MB, 40 MP3 song = 240MB.
On average you have 17 songs on a CD -> 256MB ~ 2.5 CD

Use AAC / AAC+
Less data with the same quality.
Nokia Audio Manager converts the to about 1 to 2 MB per song (average; depends on the song).
It's the same "math-trick" as Apple used for their iPod...
Also they claim "up to" which means "You could" but not a sure "You can" (well you can, if you want )
And on these phones you won't be able to hear any different between 96kbit/s and 192kbit/s the headset is to bad (maybe with a good one with a real mp3-player )
