Its time to decide. I wan't a mobile phone just for Internet radio. I travel alot and want to listen mainly in the UK to some of my favorite Internet radio Stations as I do at home via my home wireless network and Internet radio. Should I go for a Phone?? If so which phone, Which Provider and What Price plan? I don't need to use the phone really, I will connect to my incar radio via a Aux cable from the phone. I do travel all the UK so it has to be G3 I assume.

Any suggestions.....

You need quite a comprehensive data plan for all that Internet streaming...

I have an N95, which has a normal FM tuner. But Nokia has also recently launched a free Internet Radio prog which, as well as containing huuuuge amounts of radio stations from around the world, also allows you to add other streams.

I am on o2 with an "unlimited" data bolt on which I get for free as I am on the £35/month tariff.

I am guessing that there are cheaper mobiles and data tariffs out there that can play Internet radio - although you may have to pay for third-party software.

^ forgot to add... the N95 also has a sensible 3.5mm jack socket so no faffing about with "special connectors". The socket is also used (with the supplied cable) to output the "DVD-quality" video to any TV with the red, white and yellow input sockets.
