Advise: Need Basic Mobile c/w FM Radio & MP3

Andy7856

All

I need some advise, I need a basic mobile phone (to take cycling, running, walking) that must have a FM radio and MP3 player. All very easy but I need the facility to change channels / skip track via the headset.

It seems that entry end nokia phones no longer appear to have this facility (well certainly the Nokia 130 that I bought then sent back). You had to use the buttons on the actual phone to perform this change function. (pretty pointless if you are for example cycling and have to stop to do this)

For example my old workphone Nokia 2323 you pressed the button on the hands free and it would skip to the next store FM station - dead handy if you moved through different radio reception areas or simply wanted to change channel.

Any advise welcome.

Cheers!

Maybe you should try some old Nokia Simbian,they have all advance options back than, or some Sony Erisson Walkman, they probably have that option. I would sugest Sony Ericsson,you can find them cheaply on cex and similar sites.

Thanks I sold my Nokia 3720c for a Samsung Galaxy, and now thinking it was a bad idea!

All current phones will play MP3 files. A phone with a FM radio will be hard to find.

Not so hard: "http://shop.tescomobile.com/pay-as-you-go/mobile-phones/nokia/130?deal=22391"

Filtering on the features "MP3" and "Radio" on the Tesco Mobile website for PAYG phones returns 34 items.
