i860

I have the i860 and was wondering for mp3s i saw that someone here said that Bit rate should be at 32kbps.
now can i go higher? like 64? I have tried and failed to upload the ones at 64 and my girlfriend has a v505 moto phone and her bit rate for one of the songs mp3s is 64. I know its not even the same class but still the quality is much better. please help and thanks.

is the i860 a thick phone? how much thicker than the i830?

i tried to compare the 0.80" vs the 0.98" listed in the nextel web site, but I really couldn't grasp how muck thicker i860 is from the i830.

Hopefully someone answers my question ; ) but as for thickness it is about a llittle under an inch...compared to my ol i95 its a LOT slimmer, so i suggest you go to a local cell phone place and check one out.

it should be 32
