Ok.. all nice and dandy.. but somehow this all feels very constrained to me. I don&rsquo;t believe we&rsquo;re thinking outside the box enough. So with that said, here are my suggestions to what would make an awesome Zune phone...&quot;</em> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ZuneSphere sums up a few of the wish lists floating around for the rumored Zune Phone, and offers up an expanded list of features and functionality. Some of these features, such as enhanced Wi-Fi, replaceable battery, and streaming functionality, would be nice for any Zune model, not just a phone edition. Personally, I'm not sure I'd be too interested in a Zune Phone device. That being said, I do hope that the Zune team is looking at making more than just a mobile phone that happens to play music. A Zune Phone needs to take advantage of 24/7 connectivity. Namely, it must be able to directly interface with Marketplace, and it should allow for long distance sharing, not just short-range Wi-Fi sharing. What features do you feel are critical for a Zune Phone?</p>

As a WM5PE user (the T-Mo MDA) I can't really see myself getting into a Zune phone unless they basically gave us all the features of WM. If it were a more powerful competitor to say the iPhone then maybe.

I do have to say I'd LOVE to see the Zune interface put into use as the WM interface. It would be a totally wiz way to navigate the device and would clean the interface up so so much.
