advice needed

I'm looking for an MP3 player. I basically want it for podcasts so don't want to spend to much.

But it has to have a radio and bluetooth.

Can anyone recommend one?

What does the bluetooth need to be able to do?

I'm a bit deaf and wear a hearing aid, I want the bluetooth to pair with the hearing aid!

I think unless you get one of the samsung galaxy players only other players with bluetooth I can think of are some of the creative zen xfi series.
I know 1&2 have it not sure about the xfi3.

What about a mobile phone. Most smartphones will do the job. Looking at the carphonewarehouse site, they have a €70 prepay-phone, with fm radio, bluetooth and should be no problems downloading podcasts because being an android there are a lot of podcast apps available.
I'm sure with a bit of looking, you could pick up a second hand smart phone for very litte. Try adverts and donedeal.

That's probably the most cost effective route to take. +1

There's a version of the xfi 1 with wifi. Xfi 2 doesn't have either because I own one. Not sure about the Xfi 3.

Re - wextext: i didn't even think about getting a smartphone, i think i'm due a upgrade on my present phone so i may go that way depending on price! i'll see what they recommend in the shop as i don't know much about smartphones

RE - Ste- & Morf: the creative zen's seem to get good reviews so i may go that way if i don't get the smartphone

Zen Touch 2 and Zen X-fi 3 both have bluetooth. I just checked.
