...Music is a big part of the CU500's raison d'?tre. Like most phones, it plays MP3s loaded onto a memory card (sold separately). There's a sweet program called MusicID that magically names almost any tune it hears through its microphone - even stuff playing on your car radio. Cingular's MobiRadio program is there, however a warning at launch says you should subscribe to an unlimited data plan if you want to use the 40-channel streaming radio service (which itself is $9.99 per month). The CU500's Bluetooth wireless system lets you connect to wireless headphones...
...camera in "The War Tapes" is part of this war's media. Just as Vietnam had been America's first "living-room war," spilling carnage in dinnertime news broadcasts, so is the Iraq conflict emerging as the first YouTube war. Growing up in a world where they can swap MP3s as well as intimate details about their lives via MySpace or Facebook, American soldiers are swapping their Iraq experience as well. There's a byte-enabled intimacy to "The War Tapes," the film that bills itself as the first documentary about the war filmed by those fighting it. Critics...
...This is the first Sidekick that can play MP3s. You drag tracks to the included 64MB MiniSD card (you can always buy a larger one), then stick the card into the Sidekick and in an instant they're all displayed, categorized by artist, album or song title.

A disclaimer on that site notes that mp3s are low-quality audio and "if you like particular album or song we recommend you buy the original CD." It's not a bad idea - though fewer and fewer people seem to be heeding...
...extra hour of talk time. Unlike other Windows Mobile products, it comes with speaker-independent voice recognition from VoiceSignal - a must for anyone who wants to talk and drive. This is also the first U.S. handset to stream stereo Bluetooth to wireless headphones. Once you have loaded up some MP3s or "rented" songs (from MTV's Urge or another Windows-Media-friendly, non-Apple music service), power up Motorola's $80 HT820 Bluetooth headphones. Tap the right ear, and a song starts playing. Tap the left, and the music gets quieter and you hear a prompt for voice-dialing...
