Nokia - MD4 Speakers

Nokia Mini Speakers MD-4 are for you if you want to listen to music tracks or FM radio on your Nseries phone or any other device that supports a 3.5mm audio jack. Working on 4 AAA size 1..5v batteries, it has power to deliver, with crystal clear clarity.

The V-shaped design makes them small and compact and it could easily slide into your pocket when you are on the move.(make sure it doesn't go into some1 elses though, just as easy u see). What really impressed me was the compatibility of the unit. If there is no 3.5mm jack on your device (for example, if you’re packing the 7610, 6220 Classic or the E71), there are other ways to connect the speakers – via the included adaptors. Along with an excellent strong and sturdy build, the quality of the sound that comes from the speakers is ‘fantastic’. ‘Crisp and clear’ with no signs of crackle or hiss,The build quality is superb and they look really nice. For those of you that still own a N73 or have a device with a 2.5mm jack, adapters come in the box. Don't forget there is a built in FM radio antenna so you can listen to Nokia's FM Radio application as well.

When you switch it back on the music fades back in to the volume you were previously listening. That's the only switch or function on the speaker. All volume is controlled from the device your listening to. I would've really liked to see a volume wheel built onto the speakers so you don't have to unlock your music device or fiddle with finding the volume settings on your computer.The battery life of the MD-4 speakes is they last 30 hours on fully charged 4 AA batteries.The hinge felt strong and sturdy and could withstand general wear and tear relatively easily. They are finished in an attractive glossy black which would compliment devices like the N81, N78 and N96 really well, but they would also look great with others as well!

In the package, you are provided with 4 AA batteries. 2 AA batteries are inserted in the back of each set of speakers. The back of each half slides off to reveal the battery compartments, and the covers slide back into place with a satisfying click and don’t move/wobble at all. All in all I was really satisfied with the build quality of this accessory. The speakers also have a slide switch on the top of the right speaker. This can be used if you need to quickly mute the music/turn off the speakers. When you switch the speakers back on, the music will fade back in to the volume you had set so you are not startled by what could be very loud music when you switch them back on! The volume itself is controlled by the device you are using.

Nokia N78 - elegance & style redefined

The Nokia N78 is an all-around phone designed for navigation, photography, and music. The model has integrated A-GPS with free Nokia maps for geo-tagging of your photos. Speaking of photos, the Nokia N78 has a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. It features a card slot which can accommodate up to 8GB microSD cards, FM transmitter, and WLAN and HSDPA support. The Nokia N78 can access the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Internet Radio, and Share on Ovi -- Nokia's new personal media sharing community.

I recently received a device from Nokia/WOM World for trialling along with an MD-4 speaker set and a HB-703 headset - and I've got to say that the initial excitement moving over form an N95 classic to a N78 was amazing (note the bold type). Thing is, compared to the clumsy build of the N95 with all those shakes and wobbles moving over to the N78 was like trading a Ford POS for a Rolls-Royce. And the Symbian S60 3rd Feature Pack 2 that comes with it makes it all the more elegant. The difference is so much that it makes you feel that the N95s operating system was just a hurried pack-up of some features lying around..

The S60 v3 FP2 and the elegant N78 make for a stunning deal. The cool transition effects especially when you activate the camera, and the selection effect in the Haze theme are my personal favorites. The menu just flows along from one selection to another. Another new add-on is the availability of a vertically oriented standby screen.

The ergonomics of the phone are the best I've seen since the 7610. Excellent fit, and a flush body gives a really expensive feel to the device. I particularly liked the way they've partially hidden the charger connector hole. It doesn't stand out at all like the other handsets. But the 3.5mm seems to have been added with only utility in mind as it sits right at the top with a gaping hole next to the power button. The speaker are situated on either side with a twist - the right one is at the top while the left one is at the bottom.

FM transmit feature on the phone is indeed a boon. Especialy because, ever since these smartphones started to get serious about music I've been finding more of my music files getting transfers onto solid state storage like microSD cards than onto CDs - with the result that my car stereo is kept tuned to a radio station. With the FM transmit on the N78 I can transmit my own music on air through the phone onto the cars FM receiver and hear my fav songs - without compromising on quality.

What I hate..well there isn't anything particular that i hate about the N78..but I found myself strangely happier on returning to my N95 after a few days of usage of the N78. Maybe it's because of those silly buttons - they're exciting at the first shot but later they become tiresome. I lov ma N95 buttons ! Which reminds me - the N78 doesn't have the 'pencil'! How worse can it get? Wonder what the guys at nokia were thinking.. a smartphone without the 'pencil' is like life without music...

There are certain basic functions which I feel still lag in this device. One is concerning the clock's alarm feature. It doesn't change with change in hometown. So if you'd put an alarm for 6 in the morning while in a plane and then you changed you're hometown to that of your destination the alarm would ring at 6 at the destination..
And then i found that if you had an incoming phone call while you're switching of the phone, then it would continue to ring even in switched of mode! Really nice..
