I'm sorry I started this thread now...I feel O-L-D.

Thanks for all the info...maybe one day I'll step out of the dark ages and buy something that starts with i.

I don't have an iPod. My cell phone is several years old - works fine for making and receiving calls, which is all I use it for. I only listen to music at home in the living room, not at work or in the yard or anywhere else. I know many people love having thousands of songs with them at all times, but I've never felt the need.

With the impending launch of Windows Phone 7, it will probably continue to get better.

That wasn't the reason there's no App support, people are willing to develop for it, but there's no way for devs to sell, M/S dropped their app store thing as it conflicted with their mobile support, which even in 7 won't have Zune support.

Ah, this one has a Microsoft Sync sticker in it ... I'll see how it goes with a USB cable today! The Bluetooth streaming audio is pretty cool - wasn't expecting that! This is my first Ford in a long time; must say, so far so good
