Listening to music on a new mobile phone?

[jeannamacs]

Hope someone can help.
I am just about to sign up for a contract with a new Blackberry mobile with Virgin media.
My question is will I be able to use it like an IPod, can i put music on it? This is one of the main reasons for getting a new mobile, would i be better going with a different provider (ie vodafone etc ) and pick a better phone.(Smartphone)?
I dont really make a lot of calls, but i do text a lot, and have been using the same Nokia for 2 years.
As i said its the music question I'm really interested in. My son has tried to advise me , but it all got too technical. !
