Recording gear question

[phuej]

I've been looking at new mobile phones and have seen that some of them have flash memories up to 8Gb. It got me thinking that since people use iPods and iRivers instead of MD recorders and DAT these days, would it be possible to use the flash memory on a phone to do the same thing? Or would it cause too many probs (getting mics, possibly modding the o/s of the phone, changing recording format to .wav etc) or would i be best off getting a belkin tunetalk for my 80Gb iPod? Any help would be appreciated, if it's possible? just trying to do something with what funds i have available so i can give something back, i don't have the money to go for high end mics etc.

Keep the phone as a phone. I suggest getting a MD recorder if you can't afford anything "hi-tech". It's obsolete so you can get it pretty cheap, it's hi-quality stuff and still afford those mics that are still the most important thing.

When you really think, people usually saves from the wrong things. No matter how great recording gear you got but when your mics failt to deliver... what it's worth in the end.
