Encode radio stations to MP3 in realtime with your phone

Damn. I think I want this. Nokia has announced new model of cell phone that can not only play but also ENCODE mp3s. It also has a builtin FM radio. This phone will allow you to record FM radio and encode it in realtime to an MP3 whicih you can then transfer to your computer.

It also has a full QWERTY keyboard and looks kind of similar to a gameboy advance. Nokia's official web site is here. A write up and some pictures are here. This thing looks like it may just give the RIM Blackberry a run for its money. Too bad it's not available in North America :(

This one's pretty cool too.
