	Mine's a pretty good telephone - when there's a signal otherwise
yep a shit telephone. For the rest I'd rate it mediocre rather than shit
there are worse options for all of these (desktop, programmable calculator,
Smart TV, FM cordless - in order).

	Jack of all trades innit, but as you say a surprisingly good MP3

a dedicated MP3 player ... somewhere.
