FAQ2: How to trick FM Radio with speakerphone without original Nokia headsets

Yes, but you have to find a Pop-port to 2.5mm headset adapter like one by Belkin. Since the ORIGINAL Nokia stereo headset act as an antenna with the cord itself, so the trick will not get the good reception like when you use the proper gears... You will experience static, interference. Touching the adapter with you body will help to boost it though.
Regarding the relatively soft volume during calls / conversation of many Nokia handsets (not just CDMA but GSM as well), it has been a theory suggesting that it is purposely done for ettiquette reason... So people will not yell at thier Nokia when talking. Our brains will be confused by the sound coming out from the earpiece because we may not hear our own voice as normally do. So we tend to speak louder to compensate it. One of the workaround is to use "side-tone", i.e. putting certain level of sound picked up by the mouthpiece into the "conversation", so we can hear our own voice coming out from the earpiece. However, too much side-tone would become too noisy as it also picks up undesirable background noise as well.
Well, i'm not sure about the whole hearing our own voice side of things but for my part i find that i can barely hear other people's voice on incoming calls sometimes. I mean it simply gets frustrating trying to hear incoming calls in public places and resolving the issue by using the loudspeaker isn't appropriate in my book.
i don't know understand the speakervolume issue. sure its quieter than some phones but its pretty decent still. I used to work for aircanada on the ramp going deaf from airplane engines and i do have a hearing problem. but this phone isn't that quiet. i can still hear people while driving with the windows open on the highway. or hear coversations in the foodcourt of a mall?
