A popular proprietary synch feature that has been given in this phone is the Microsoft Zune. For local connectivity we have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB. There is no support for USB 3.0 which has let us down.
The music player of the phone comes with an active noise cancellation system which cuts out noise. The FM player is capable of streaming audio directly from the internet.
