Yes, i know it's pre-order, i have provided a link before, what i want to know is a release date. As in when it will be out, not when i can pre-order it from expansys, it's been on expansys for ages, as are loads of things that dont come out for ages afterwards. Please if anybody has any UK dates, real ones, then can you let me know,
thanks. |

bought mine today! it's SUPER!!! a little bit tricky menu but that is also the only "bad" thing....sound quality is great and the reception is good outside but in tunnels and subways it doesn't work at all but which portable radio does that anyway? those who haven't bought it go and get it at once!  |

If you really have one then that's great! Officially, you are among the first to have them. I've been waiting for it since October and it's taking so long now.
Care to post a review? |

sure guys!
the first thing i reflected over was the colour of this thing. I mean in the picture you've seen on SE's site the handsfree is purely white but it is actually in grey/silver colour, but it's nice although. then it's a little bit bigger in reality (ofcourse)...but it's necessary really because of the screen size and so.
I'm sure many of you thought as I thought that the transmitting of the "radio" went via the phone's antenna but the transmitter is actually in the remote control which ofcourse contributes to the size of the control unit.
The connection piece to the phone takes up all "slots" unfortunatally. I thought that it would maybe take up like half of the slots so that you could attach the charger and so but but...
It has only got 2 buttons. one is kind of an "Enter" button and the other one is a "slider" which you choose things with. it's kinda tricky in the beginning as i said but it's good in the end. too many buttons would have been too much.
And at last but not least, the SOUND! It's great! I'm sure Sony provided the technology of the headphones. I thought that the bass would suck 'cause the bass in most of these little earpieces do. but it's really clear, "bassy" and fresh stereo sound!
then you get a little "geeky" carrying case which I don't understand what you're supposed to do with cause obviously you carry the handsfree on you all the time but then in your pocket and not in a little carrying case but that's up to every one of you.
In the end this is a really good handsfree! the remote control is the best thing so that you must not take up the phone all the time to change volume and switch channel as you must on most nokia models.
And one more cool thing I noticed when using the HF is that you can have your phone switched off and still use and listen to the radio! 
Hope this is satisfying!

Is it just me or does it just not look as nice in that first picture? The original picture we had made it look sweet, but that one looks a bit pants, hmmm, i hope it's just a bad angle and bad light! |

can you use your phone while listening to the radio? like sms, going through your menus? can you use the recorder in the phone to record from the radio? |
