Space for music w/o card?
So I love sliders and Verizon's Chocolate came as a great relief when I needed a new phone. However, I have an iPod and won't be buying a memory card for my phone, as of yet.
Question: How much can my phone hold considering songs and pictures with merely using it w/o a memory card?
Might consider getting a 256mb card if I can hold a good amount of pictures on it + like 25-50 songs would be fine.
...
from what ive been reading, the phone has a dedicated 68mb of space available for music and media by itself.
...
how many MP3s would that be, if I have approx. 20 pics and no videos?
...
oh thats perfectly ok for me. I have a MP3 player (Zen Micro 4GB) All i need is 3 or 4 songs that I can have the option of playing thru a speaker. I'm mostly buying the chocolate for the looks anyway.

my phone shows 62881kb dedicated just to music and and abot 68mb for general phone memory, so i don't think pix and flix will have an affect on your music since it looks allocated in a different location. Don't quote me on that I use a card in mine so I haven't really tinkered with internal memory b7ut that is what it looks like when I go to my memory settings for phone. An average mp3 will use 300 to 400 kb a song. So 64mb/4mb(average high per song) gets you 16.

Yeah, geniushomie247 is right--
have a look-ee-se from QJ.net:
"With only 68MB of onboard memory the phone is dependent on its available SD slot that can take up to 2GB SD cards. The way I, and many people, use mobile music players (I have nearly 50GB stored on my Ipod right now), the VX8500 does not offer enough storage.
For people that are looking for a phone and are interested in storing a limited amount of music, as a secondary feature, this phone might be the way to go."

a 2gig card should hold about 280-300 mp3's. I am sure that is enough for a lot of people. I just got a 512, only holds about 70, but their are not many days i need to have over 70 songs on my music player.
