I feel so ignorant. I just became aware that some of the new cellphones have hard-drives in them. I am looking for a little crash course in terms of what is considered the cream of the crop for this devices.

I am a little hesitant from a durability standpoint, but still greatly intrigued.

I know of the Samsung SGH-I300 and the Nokia N91.

When I say know of them, I mean I know they exist, and have hard drives.

So anyone with better insight to hard-drive cellphones care to bring me up to speed?

Its news to me. You learn something new everyday

It's news to me too, but you don't need a big hard-drive for your cell phone.

I mean you need a big hard-drive for your computer because you have documents,files,music,clips,pictures to store on it.

I'm guessing you need this to store pics on cellphone? Just transfer the pics to comp.
