Nokia 6630 Music Edition
It looks like an afterthought ("Yikes, Sony Ericsson and Motorola have released music phones! We must too!!!"). To connect a normal earphone you need an adapter that looks like it could easily come off. It ships with 256 MB Flash, yet can be upgraded to max 1 GB. The 6630 has always supported MP3 and open AAC, so there's nothing new on the technical side. It's got new colors though.
"You can carry a good portion of your music collection with you where ever you go..."
A very small music collection maybe.
I'm sure Nokia will get more seriously on the music bandwagon too, but it needs more optimised devices than this with standard earphone connector, DRM etc. Support for OGG and WMA would be nice too.
