A couple of MPX220 questions.

[Guest jmrecanize]

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but i need a couple of answers that havent been answered elsewhere. The first is will the phone have a separate loudspeaker other than the earpiece, i find the SPV's loudspeaker as the earpiece wasn't loud at all, if the earpiece is the loudspeaker won't it be reduced/muffled by the clamshell design. Secondly i read that it will cost 848 swiss francs which converted is roughly £400. I'm assuming this is the cost of it sim free however what is your opinion on how much will the unit cost on Orange contract (£20-£25 monthly line rental).

Thanx for any help.

I aren't sure about the design of the phone in relation to the loud speaker, however your contract would be considered low tariff, so I'd expect you to have to pay £100 for it, or maybe more when its first released - obviously the amount will drop over time.

I pay £75 a month and am hoping they'll give it me for free :P

I don't think the phone will have a separate speaker.

If you want to use it as a media player you need to use headphones for decent audio quality.

Having said that, I'm sure I've seen an SPV parked between 2 external speakers in the same way you'd set up your CD Walkman in your hotel room if that's what you want to use it for.

I get paid on Friday. Guess what I'm a-gonna buy ?! :wink:

Cheers for the memory-jog Simon :P

I do use headphones when listening to the phones media player abilities, however the volume problem i am referring to is the ringtones, they are too quiet for my liking, i thought maybe there is a loudspeaker behind the divets on the front of the clamshell below the external screen but wasn't sure and was hoping to get an answer. I guess i'll just have to wait for the release to get a definate answer.

I can now confirm that the mpx220 does have a separate loudspeaker. I can confirm this by going here and downloading the internal pdf. It shows the loudspeaker behind the divets. Now i'll just have to wait for prices.
