1. They might be an older version, though, I remember them having a straight 1/4" connector, not a 1/8" with a 1/4" adapter.
  2. Yeah, as I said, this model has been in production for 28 years!
  3. So so close Windows Phone but it has fallen to bits. No variable playback speed in the media player. I listen to all of my books and podcasts on 1.5 times speed and it saves me hours. Nexus 4 it is.
  4. No mod available for that?
  5. And there goes Nokia. Mission accomplished Elop. I have no belief in Microsoft doing the Nokia name any justice. Sad.

  6. There is an API which allows you to set the playback rate. But the default media player doesnt use it. Dont know if there is one that does.

    WP8's API is clear and concise, but lacking a lot of low level stuff.

  7. I believe that this is a good thing, as long as Microsoft keeps hardware quality of Lumia *20 generation. And remember that Elop put Nokia back on its feet...
  8. Microsoft couldn't make WP attractive to OEM's. How does buying Nokia change that? Windows Phone doesn't have a hardware problem, it has a software problem.

    Nothing seems to use it. Audible is a deal breaker for me. The variableb playback speed literally saves me tens of hours each month.
  10. And seems Elop will be replacing Ballmer as CEO....this whole thing is starting to sound like a major and long planned conspiracy!

    I've only ever owned Nokia phones and I fully intended to keep it that way forever. Now my hand has been forced.

    It does concern me a little that North Americans can't even pronounce Nokia correctly, let alone understand their ethos and what they represent for European technology users.

    Same here. Selling Nokia out to Microsoft marks the end of my 11 years relationship with Nokia. Although I will always say they've been the best phones around (both soft and hardware wise) but they've taken the wrong path, so... It was good while it lasted. Ciao!
