Cellphones [was Re: Info about Z80 machine]

Maybe you can launch a few satellites and switch back to analog phones. My old Nokia 100 (90's analog not the newer digital) had perfect sound, especially once everybody switched to digital and nobody was using up the analog bandwidth. I use a cheap LG 500G, has a decent keyboard for texting, basic mp3 player, 1.3MP camera in case somebody hits my car and I need proof, simple games I can download for when I am waiting in a doctors office etc. I don't carry around mp3 players or a camera with me unless I know I will need them so the features do have some use. It also has bluetooth and fully functional USB port so I can move data around to the removable flash card. I must be the only guy in Ohio that doesn't bother getting a custom ringtone. All electronics sell on features, they have to keep adding stuff to get people to upgrade. Try finding a cheap stereo receiver these days, everything is setup for 7.1 with HDMI inputs and all kinds of crap you don't need just to listen to stereo recordings. Pretty much all the speakers out are designed for movie playback anymore and not listening to 80's rock turned to 11. -----Original Message----- From: Joachim Thiemann Sent: Friday, September 27, 2013 4:48 AM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Cellphones [was Re: Info about Z80 machine] On 25 September 2013 11:21, Mouse <mouse at rodents-montreal.org> wrote: Maybe you want this: http://web.media.mit.edu/~mellis/cellphone/index.html Though it may not have the required quality... Acoustic design is _hard_. Maybe stick to your Nokia.
