Built in speaker

[manu407]

Is the built in speaker loud enough to avoid compulsory use of headphone?

[Bader]

It's loud enough to watch scary movies while travelling by bus (tested by myself).
But neighbours wouldn't be happy, sure :-)

So I use BT-stereo headset.

When you answer phone call without keyboard and earphone, is there an easy way to tune down the volume of the speaker as well as to answer/reject/terminate call?

There is a volume slider thingy on side by joystick, which alters phone volume when you are in a call. If you are looking at the screen you can use the phone screen to deal with calls. If you on a Bluetooth headset then I guess it depends on its functions. e.g. if you can see the caller id etc.

Hope this helps

Thanks. I guess it solves the problem of excessively loud sound and privacy problem when answering without a headset.

Another question is, when a call comes in, will the screen automatically presents you with option to accept or reject the call, if I do not want to use any bluetooth headset.

Whats the actual quality of the speaker like? Is music still dreadfully 'tinny' and without bass?

[Digital.Diablo]

Its very tinny and low on bass. I tend to use it in the bathroom listening to streaming radio whilst I'm in the shower, and its more or less hearable, although the shower is like a dribble of p155 so the ameo's not got much to fight with. I'd prefer better, but its good enough.

As an aside point, whats the deal with everyone wanting to play their music/movies to everyone else in a public place? Every mobile device I've heard seems to have very tinny music playback - if u want to enjoy ur music fine, but use headphones where you can get much better sound quality, and you can filter out all the other environmental music. Just seems crazy to me. :confused:
