...arrival of the Motorola ROKR-aka "the iTunes phone"-has triggered a hullabaloo about music-playing phones. Turns out, lots of them do it. This month, Verizon Wireless introduced a couple of phones with stereo speakers that support V Cast news and entertainment, and both of them-the Samsung SPH-a950 and the LG VX9800-play MP3s...
