    Sony Ericsson W760i

    Does anyone know if this phone will handle DRM protected songs from iTunes?? I'm torn between getting this, or getting an iPod Nano but if the phone plays the songs I want, then it's a nobrainer!

    (and yes, I'm aware there's conversion programs out there, but none run on Vista64 and they're illegal anyway damnit )

    I fold for Hexus, do you?

    No, I don't think it will, as it seems Apple has ensured that the only devices that work with its DRM are Apple devices (nice vendor lock in)

    The only non-apple device that has ever been able to play iTunes DRM infected tracks is the Motorola ROKR. This was the doomed to fail precurser to the iPhone. You could only sync 100 tracks regardless of the memory size and it was a terrible phone (Motorola so no surprise there).

    It will probably play the non-DRM tracks purchased from iTunes without a problem though

    Ah well, guess the best solution is to get a phone that comes with a free iPod touch!
